I think you're a little mistaken. Maybe for a dozen kilometres within the city core, the 401 can be circumvented...we even built a toll-highway specifically for that purpose...but if you're going anywhere else, there is no other option. The 400 series highways are main arteries in Ontario, there's really no alternative in many cases.
And when there is, it's usually a 50km/h speed limit road with stop signs every block...try driving 200km on that!
