The city of Munich is raising prices for parking - craftsmen are particularly affected.

The decision is hotly debated on social media. 

Munich - Anyone who drives in Munich will pay more in the future.

This applies at least to traders and commuters *.

The parking card will also be more expensive for tradespeople: Instead of 265 euros, the card will cost 720 euros in the future - a price increase of a whole 172 percent.

A contribution on the topic causes a stir on the Jodel platform.

The author writes about the new prices: "If you soon see a roofer with 3 pallets of roof tiles in the U3, please don't be surprised, just say hello!" 

Munich: Users react with humor - "The cargo bike was practically invented for something like that"

With its plans, the city of Munich wants to promote local public transport.

However, Facebook users are apparently skeptical about the benefits of the price increase.

One user writes, for example: "That probably promotes something else: aggression, for example."

Another ironically advises the craftsmen to use an alternative means of transport: “The cargo bike was practically invented for something like that.

The strongest colleague tramples and the others take care of the material behind.

If it gets too warm in summer, then you can take turns. "

In between there are also serious voices: Some users fear that the costs could be passed on to the customer in the future, but Green City Councilor Gudrun Lux is behind the increase: “Public space is scarce and valuable, we don't want it for a few cents a day squander ", she writes on Twitter.

In addition, the fee for the craftsmen is tax deductible anyway.
