Munich is the traffic jam capital in Germany.
To remedy this, the Munich CSU now wants to support a spectacular proposal.
Munich
is the traffic jam capital number 1 in Germany.
In order to master the traffic jam problem in the state capital, they are now supposedly planning a
city toll.
This proposal is supported by the Munich
CSU.
Munich - The
CSU
wants to campaign for a
city toll
in
Munich
.
The
tz found
out from parliamentary groups.
Fractional leader
Manuel Pretzl
confirmed: “It is correct that we in the fraction discussed a city toll.
We have come to the conclusion that we fundamentally support the introduction. "
Munich is Germany's traffic jam capital.
In the Bavarian metropolis,
commuters
were
stuck
in
traffic jams for an
average of three and a half days last year
.
This emerges from an analysis of traffic data.
Against this background, the Ifo Institute only proposed a
city toll
just a month ago
.
Munich: is driving more expensive in the city?
CSU supports toll plans
The problem is that there are currently no legal requirements for such a construct.
The Free State doubts that municipal regulations alone are sufficient.
Bavaria's Transport Minister
Kerstin Schreyer
(CSU) said in October about the Ifo study that a
city toll
could only be made on the basis of a law.
However, there is no such basis at either the federal or state level.
“The legal requirements are not yet in place,” says Pretzl.

Nonetheless, he is of the opinion: “In the future, a fee for vehicles within the Altstadtring could help to
save
Munich
from traffic collapse.
“It is important to us: We do not want any bans for individual groups.
Anyone who depends on driving into the
city
must still be able to pay for it. "
City toll in Munich?
"Model must be flexible"
The charge of six euros per day per motor vehicle proposed by the Ifo Institute is intended to reduce traffic within the 28-kilometer-long Middle Ring by an average of 23 percent - at peak times by 33 percent.
With a fee of ten euros, it would even be around 30 or 41 percent.
“The model for the
Munich toll
has to be flexible,” says Pretzl.
"Conceivable, for example, would be a discounted subscription for residents as well as special regulations for certain branches of trade such as trades and delivery traffic." In addition: "We need an intelligent overall concept that also includes the expansion of public transport and park-and-ride systems includes. ”
