People do not have to “bunch of sweet money”?
Transporters complain that since the beginning of 2016, the toll rates will increase to the ceiling price, with the lowest 12 seats having the highest rate of 52,000 dong per passenger. trucks weighing 18 tons or more and 40-foot container car with the highest fee is 200,000 VND / pass.
Fees increase, the number of stations has increased more and more while the roads are not better, but without any discontent, except the units charge BOT (build – business – transfer) money.
Although the roadmap to raise fees has been in the past, the Ministry of Transport will talk about how about 10 days ago, the Ministry of Finance has written in the Ministry of Transport to direct the application. The transport business reduced the freight rates because the world oil prices have fallen deeper? Asked to reduce the freight rate but increase the fee through the station, that is forced to double the cost of the car, it is strange!

Know the car grievances, including residents living in the area have toll stations protested because of irrational, but the concerned ministries – departments still collect because the bridge, BOT road has been done, not to collect the refund. capital. The state budget is not sufficient to cover all projects, forced to mobilize from a variety of sources, including private and then pay back by charging them. That is the right policy, but there are open bidding BOT investors, how to monitor the operating costs, how to calculate the right time to calculate the full charge … are questions that many
localities do not pay. Answer or ignore. Even where investors only open or upgrade roads on existing roadways, they still charge a fee, from year to year.
Another issue that needs to be clarified is the responsibility of the regulators, which is to pay the toll and then be charged at all stations. And according to regulations, the two stations must be 70 km apart but there are many places where the stations are very close together, such as Bien Hoa City – Vinh Cuu District (Dong Nai Province). , there are 5 toll stations within 30 km radius of Thuan An – Di An town. Every charging station is “struggling” and must apply for permission to grow up, is needle thread only where the ministries – do not know, do not see ?!
The garage, as seen, is reluctant to reduce freight. Now that the tolls have increased, they have reason to rise. All costs are charged to end consumers, resulting in increased product and commodity prices on the market, and reduced investment in the investment and business environment. Damage is not expected.
People are not the “bunch of sweet money”. Do policy, must know drunk people. Broadly observe, it seems that every field is the same, whenever there is a chance of recovery. People are not rich, strong stars ?!
