In this work we provide a simple proof of the existence of optimal tolls for multiclass network equilibrium problems where the value-of-time parameter varies continuously throughout the population. The main argument, based on a finite-dimensional reformulation of the problem, also allows us to determine in a simple fashion revenue minimizing link toll vectors.
