in At the beginning of 2023, the Navigo Pass continues to grow. Distributed by Ile-de-France Mobilités, this card allows you to travel on all public transport in the region. Metro, tram, bus, trains, RER and even TER in some areas! Its prices are revised every year at the same time as prices for inflation so that it has increased by 10% in 2023 ! It took a month to be able to use transport in 5 concession zones pay 84.10 euros. Navigo’s annual subscription is now €925.10 (also dezoned). Good old paper T+ tickets (discontinued) can now be purchased for €2.10. They will gradually disappear in favor of dematerialized tickets. But how to prevent such price increases ? A local elected official in Paris has his own idea…

SUVs in sight

As this is a public service used by a large number of Ile-de-France residents, the First Deputy Mayor of Paris wishes to preserve this service, and finance it differently. Looking elsewhere for funds. “If we do nothing, the Navigo Pass will not cost 84.10 euros, but 100, 110, 120 euros. We are facing a social bomb situation,” he explains in an interview with our colleagues from “20 Minutes”. We talk about it on Auto Plus, because That’s what David Belliard wants SUV tax. Which, according to him, “are of no use in the city and pollute a lot.” It also considers the possibility of creating tax on kerosene in Paris and in the regionsto prevent further gap growth.

Tax e-commerce platforms and heavy goods vehicles.

But deputy Euro-Ecology-Greens (EELV) I don’t want to stop there. It also mentions a tax on packages from private delivery companies. Amazon, FedEx, UPS, DHL : he wants to target e-commerce platforms. Which “generate billions of euros for activities that use the common resource that is public space”. In particular, he suggests a tax of 50 cents per package, return 180 million euros in a year. An average of 1 million parcels are delivered to Ile-de-France every day. Finally, David Belyard also mentioned creating a eco-tax on heavy-duty vehicles. So many offers for Navigo pass. They will be proposed and discussed with the president of the Ile-de-France region, Valerie Pecress, during her “funding meetings”.
