This is teeth-grinding news. While inflation is rising, it’s time for prices to rise. The increase expected until February 1, 2023 averaged 4.75%.
The increase that was expected
No one is surprised, this year the prices of goods and services are rising sharply. We are talking about record inflation in difficult economic conditions. For highways, the fare increase planned for 2023 was also expected. While motorway concessionaires have demanded an increase of up to 8%, this increase will ultimately be more moderate, stopping at 4.75% on average.
” This increase is due to the application of contracts concluded between the state and the concession companies, which provide for an increase in the level of inflation by 70% excluding tobacco and, to a lesser extent, the financing of new investments by the companies.– Minister of Transport Cleman Bon explained in a press release.
According to different axes, the increase will range from 4.5% to 5.07%.
The biggest riders will be able to take advantage of the discount
However, for the biggest riders, this increase should be put into perspective. In fact, if prices rise for everyone, motorists who drive a private vehicle or two-wheeler and make at least ten round trips per month on the same route will be entitled to a greater discount. For these profiles, it will be from 30 to 40%.
The Sanef Group confirmed the news in a press release. The latter claims to want ” support of daily highway users” and answer ” at the request of the state. Please note that this offer is valid on the Vinci Autoroutes, APRR AREA and Sanef SAPN networks.
