Expressway charge revision

Rate revision to assume the upper limit bill 1,000 yen on Saturday on Sunday and a holiday was performed by an anti-life measure.

They carry out a 30% discount on a weekday (only as for the ETC). It starts the rate reduction of the highway sequentially.

Highway mechanism and highway company 6 companies are based on a law, and pass, and the reduction plan of the rate of this highway carries out the agreement of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

However, there are some problems, too.
The increase of the traffic jam and an accident by it, there is the budget for government increase more.
We raise the yield of taxes and must increase by investment to be settled.
It is so-called tax increase.

The nation needs the help of the country. However, the country is dependent on the tax of the nation.

This economic policy is suppressing the finance of the country.
May we reduce such inside, the rate of the highway?
The yield of taxes decreases even more.

How do all think?

  2. Another case of "There`s no such thing as a free lunch."

    My questions are: 1. Are there any figures on how local businesses profited from the increased number of visitors as people took advantage of the cheaper tolls over Golden Week? And 2. Do you have any comparative figures for increases in cars using tollways 2007, 2008 and 2009?

  3. I think the number of cars that use the expressway increases it also means an increase of carbon dioxide.

  4. This is a very difficult problem.
    Since a highway can be used at a cheap charge, it is also a fact that consumption of people is expanded.
    However,while an environmental problem is thought as important, I have a question to the government urging use of a car from people.
