Has the 403 always been this bad? Erin Mills to Etobicoke commute is draining me

Hey everyone,

I recently moved to Erin Mills (near the Costco on Laird Rd, close to the Oakville border)

My daily commute on the 403 has been absolutely brutal. The traffic is so bad that by the time I get home, I feel mentally drained.

So I wanted to ask:

Has the 403 always been this congested, or has it gotten significantly worse over the last few years?

I’m also wondering if there are any better ways to do this commute:

Is there a less painful route than taking the 403 every day?

Is the 407 worth the cost for this stretch?

I’m still getting used to the area, so I’d appreciate any tips from people who do a similar commute.

Thanks in advance.
