How it's used
Locals almost exclusively use this shortened form rather than the full name when discussing traffic or travel routes. It is frequently mentioned in the context of toll prices, which are notably higher than those of the other two cross-harbour tunnels. When checking traffic reports on the radio or apps, you will hear this term used constantly to describe congestion levels.
