Due to hike of market price all countries have faced a problem of economic crisis. To maintain the balance they have taken some necessary actions…. Like other countries France has also faced this crucial problem. To come out from this crisis France has also taken some necessary actions….. So the increase of tolls of highways on Tuesday & tariffs of transport from 8th February 2011 are taken by French Govt. The prices the consumer climbed of 1,5% in France in 2010, according to The INSEE. Tolls of the highways must increase on average by 2,24% at February 1, according to calculations of l' Professional association of the motorways and works road (AFSA). This annual increase is quite higher than that of the last year which was of 0,5%. It varies according to the concessionary companies. Partially it depends on the inflation and a part depending on the “contracts of plan" passed with the State, according to the investments authorized by each company on its network. This year, these two components represent an increase of 1,92%. & 0,32% add to it to compensate for the rise of a tax which comes to finance to balance SNCF & also overdrawn interregional trains (Coral, Téoz, night trains Lunéa…)
The rise of highway tolls of 2012 will be further increased by additional 0,17% to compensate for this " completely tax installation of the territory" which must bring 35 million euros per annum with these trains, according to l' AFSA. Side by side French railways, the SNCF announced from February 8 an average rise of 2,85% of the tariffs of its trains with reservation --TGV, Téoz and Lunéa-- in second class, full price. As for the first classes, they will increase by 3,2% on average. This increase does not relate to the regional trains, whose prices vary in July. French people are not happy with this decision! But as per Govt. order it will implement very soooon….
