Motorway tolls up

November 12, 2008

Motorway tolls in Germany will increase by 25% next year.

The government and the 16 Länder (federated states) approved the rise, which the pro-rail group Allianz Pro Schiene said would bring Germany ‘closer to achieving the modal shift in transport the climate policy demands’. It is expected to raise €800 million a year.
