“I see in article 48 that it is established that“ people and organizations that invest in the construction of expressways for companies can be charged ”, but here it says“ expressway tolls ”. Seeing that if we stipulate a document like this, you will fall into a situation where people often say “grease the ants to burn,” said delegate Hoang Van Cuong (Hanoi delegation) during the discussion session. Road Traffic Bill (revised) this morning (November 16).

Also according to delegate Cuong, in the past, society has already reacted with many words called “charging traffic prices”.
Therefore, the delegation from Hanoi suggested that this should be corrected that roads built for business may charge tolls, but we should charge tolls according to the pricing mechanism, we should not regulate which price collection.
Tolls for using the highway
Also in this morning’s discussion session, an issue that concerned many delegates was the collection of tolls on motorways.
Upon receiving the comments of the National Assembly delegates on the Road Traffic Bill (amended), Transport Minister Nguyen Van The said, we have a very large highway construction plan. We are in a very difficult situation at the moment.
“Resolution 52, Resolution 117 of the National Assembly also allows us to invest with the state budget to collect fees. Therefore, this is the basis for us to include it in the law, ”said Mr. The. to know.

According to Mr. The, when it was enacted, it should guarantee fairness between regions and regions and we have the funds to develop roads, we have the conditions to manage transportation well.
Also mentioning this issue, according to delegate Hoang Van Cuong (Hanoi delegation), if we do not regulate the rates for the use of private highways, inequalities will occur.
The first inequality is the inequality between the localities that have investment in the highway and those that do not, between those that have access to the highway and those that do not have access to the highway.
“We are all intuitively obliged to contribute equally to the budget, but there are some people who can use the roads without problems, there are people who cannot afford to use this,” Cuong said. said.
Also according to delegate Cuong, the toll collection ensures fairness among the users of the highway, but the highway is invested by the state budget and the highway where we use BOT projects.
“Nonsense, why should investors, users of the BOT road, pay money to pay the investor? And if the state invests, we do not have to pay money to pay and complaints. equality between these two people, “Mr. Cuong pointed out the second inequality.
Delegate Hoang Van Cuong said the highway toll collection is to ensure fairness
Therefore, the Hanoi delegation emphasized, on the condition that we do not have sufficient budget to invest in the entire synchronous and covered highway system in all regions and regions, I believe that We specify that those who use the expressway and other special structures they must pay that additional fee.
“I think that’s an equal thing too,” Cuong said.
