Officially, since February 1, the price of travel has really increased, according to the plan and every year. Record growth, averaging around 4.75% versus just 2% last year. A pill that is difficult to accept for motorists, who have already been taken by the throat due to the incredible increase in the price of fuel, and the liter has again closely approached the mark of two euros. But in order to limit the dissatisfaction of the French, the road companies decided to create advertising operations for some users. But is this enough?
👉 Until 2024, toll barriers along the A13, a #highway known for its traffic jams, will be removed.
But this fast lane won’t be free. 🛣 https://t.co/Ta51VaGjzR pic.twitter.com/IucQnLc7Jw

Minimal help
In any case, Vincent Delae, UDI senator from Essonne, doesn’t think so. When asked by our colleagues from “Avto-Moto”, the latter is very indignant about the proposals of such companies as APRR-AREA or even Sanef. According to him, these are simple little scoops. And the least we can say is that this person knows the subject well because he has been involved in it investigation of colossal profits road companies. According to him, the lack of further measures by the government will allow them to put themselves ” 300 million euros a year in your pocket“. The figure is extremely high, and motorists are bearing the brunt of the increase.
Ridiculous cost
But that’s not all, as the senator also condemns the companies’ lack of transparency regarding this assistance. For example, APRR-AREA offers a 40% discount for motorists who make at least 10 round trips of the same type per year. Vincent Delaë indeed explains that “they don’t tell us how much it costs them, how many people will be interested. It’s smoke. IS lack of full transparency. No one can say what these shocks mean ” concluding that ” generally, when we don’t say what represents, it’s because it doesn’t represent much“…
Why is this important? The first motorway without a toll barrier opens in Allier: a model for the future? – https://t.co/TX5r8CJ1uh
