Since February 1, the price of travel has risen sharply. A record growth of 4.75%, which we owe, in particular, to the incredible increase in inflation over the last year. Indeed, management companies have the right to translate up to 70% of the latter into an increase in their prices. And they, of course, did it without hesitation. A flash that is obviously difficult to pass. Moreover, the report condemns the obscene profitability of these companies to the detriment of road users, who pay more and more every year. So much so that some are wondering about the renationalization of highways in the future.

not a good idea
A solution that would allow the state to directly receive benefits from which the whole country would benefit, not just managers, as it is now. But is this really a good idea? Not really, according to the UDI senator from Essonne, Vincent Delae. When asked by our colleagues from the “Auto-Moto” website, this one does not mince words. He actually explains it I don’t think this is a good solution because the state often manages very badly. If you can cite me services or infrastructures that are government run and well run, I’m interested“.
More stringent contracts
But then what solutions can be applied? For the senator, it would simply be necessary to review the terms of the contracts and verify their compliance. ” Private companies have the right to operate highways subject to proper controls. When we have long contracts, in particular, review provisions are necessary. For example, every 4-5 years we take stock and see where we are now ». A simple solution, but one that should not be implemented immediately…
👉 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
