Great to have affordable crossing…

Great to have affordable crossing within the day. I find crossing the channel one of the biggest organized ripoff in the world. Why did they not create a bridge so we can just drive day and night. Why does it cost over 100 or 200 to do a return crossing. Where is the economy of scale. Don't even get me starting with Eurostar prices
