150% RISE FOR THOSE USING 'TAG' DISCOUNT SCHEME
A 150% increase in the monthly admin charge to users of the Tamar Crossings TAG discount scheme has been agreed seven months after toll fees went up to plug a hole in the finances.
Members of the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee voted for the standing charge for having a TAG account to rise from 80p a month to £2 at their meeting on Friday (December 5).
TamarTAG is a prepaid electronic tolling system that offers 50% discount on tolls. In May, users saw a 20p increase in the toll charge to £1.50, and car and vans without a TAG now have to pay £3 to cross from Cornwall into Devon via the bridge or ferry.
