Tender for electronic toll collection for the use of roads raises more emotions. Not long ago we wrote about the fight in the competition of many consortia and the uncertainty term feasibility.
Highway’s user with the future of e-toll system will not be interested in the contractor’s name or any problems with the reality of his term. Drivers wonder how much will cost new infrastructure investment? In addition, fees will be charged all road users, not just trucks.
First dissatisfaction and concern gave carriers. The calculation of specialists from the Institute of Motor Transport at the Congress Road at this year are worrying. If we assume that the government wants to introduce a rate 1 zł per 1 km on a truck, then such vehicle during the year went up out 50 thousand km will pay 50 thousand zł. The highest estimated the toll fees is around 3 thousand zł per year. Such high rates can dramatically increase the cost of transport, prices of goods and services in Poland.
