Description

Melbourne drivers face exorbitant admin fees for unpaid CityLink tolls, up to ten times the actual toll cost, while Sydney drivers get a break soon. Transurban, the toll giant, rakes in hundreds of millions from these fees annually. Advocates argue these fees trap cash-strapped Victorians in debt, with a small toll ballooning to $450.
