Before we start the NDP bashing, let us not forget that the 10 lane bridge proposed by Christ Clark was to be a tolled one. When asked about what the toll level would be they said they didn't know apparently because they didn't know the final price-tag. It would have been at least $4 one way AND the Liberals already had tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears, and the new Pattula bridge was also to be tolled. This would leave only one toll free bridge, the Alex Fraser, going SoF and it is permanently clogged.
The NDP got rid of all the tolls and the new Pattula and potential Massey Tunnel replacement are to be toll free. Under the NDP commuting costs have gotten a hell of a lot cheaper which is very important in an oppressively expensive city.
