		Steve Brien, a spokesman for the tunnel operator, said about 550,000 vehicles had used the tunnel since it opened almost a month ago, which was an average of 25,000 a day.

		The newer Eastern and Western tunnels are owned and operated by the private companies that developed them, but will eventually pass to the government.

		Buying back the Eastern and Western tunnels is one option being considered by the government in an attempt to solve the toll controversy and ease public irritation over sharply rising toll charges.
