But if they have someway of recording where I drive (in the Metro area), then it would be fair.
But like I said, they will probably get lazy, or should I say cheap, and assume that the majority of my driving is in the Metro area, instead of having some way to record it.

How is it unfair that people drive more pay more? That's the definition of fair.
I paid a premium to do the right thing and live geographically close to downtown/work and the BC liberals fucked me over by focusing only on infrastructure in the eastern valley. Now my commute is as long as someone who lives in Surrey despite being 10 times closer.
