Der Artikel von Le Temps diskutiert einen Vorschlag im Schweizer Parlament, den Benzinpreis um 4 Rappen pro Liter zu erhöhen. Die Idee ist, dass dieser geringe Aufpreis dazu beitragen würde, die Verkehrsstaus auf Autobahnen zu verringern, indem er von übermäßiger Autonutzung abhält, und gleichzeitig Mittel für die Unterstützung der Infrastruktur und des öffentlichen Verkehrs generiert. Die Maßnahme gewinnt unter den Gesetzgebern an Bedeutung, löst jedoch Debatten über Gerechtigkeit, Umweltauswirkungen und die Belastung für Autofahrer aus, insbesondere für diejenigen in ländlichen Gebieten, die stark auf Autos angewiesen sind.
Würden Sie es persönlich befürworten, etwas mehr für Benzin zu bezahlen, wenn dies zu weniger Staus auf den Autobahnen und besseren Investitionen in den öffentlichen Nahverkehr führen würde, oder sind Sie der Meinung, dass diese Maßnahme Fahrer, die auf ihr Auto angewiesen sind, zu Unrecht bestraft?

It won’t change anything, other than burden working people on middle to low income.
I would support a price increase, but not using that money to build more roads.
A price increase that goes to public transport, and/or offsets the various social measures we voted on however (13th AHV etc…) would get my vote.
come on let’s be realistic… nobody will be encouraged to drive less because of a 4 cents increase….
so people really think that if gasoline becomes 4 cents more expensive, people will drive less?
Ah yes, i use my car for hobby and unecerray use. Ah, i want to pay for public transportation AND a car so much, yes please you donkeys, increase the price.
We saw that even at 2chf/l people still went around with the car.
Just one more lane bro, trust me, that’ll fix everything. Induced demand is a thing.
Most people that use their car are ALLERGIC to public transport…They will tell you with a straight face taking the bus is soooooooo expensive will driving their car everywhere…Also my bus line literally cannot take more people during the heavy traffic hour because there’s not enough space in the bus so it’s not even a solution…

A pack of cigarettes now costs about CHF 7. It didn’t stop people from smoking, even though that represents an increase of over 300 % in the last, what, 20 years?
I’m all for it.
Ok how about this: halve the GA price & watch the low & middle earners switch. I bet money there would be less traffic.
So they just want more money, like everywhere else. small amounts overtime.
Like the frog in boiling water.
Increase it by one franc and use the money to fix some of the massive issues caused by traffic thanks.
Nobody will be discouraged by this. The only thing this will do is to decrease the spending power of the lower and middle class.
what about making it cheaper and easier for commuters to use the öv instead?, how about make better öv connections in rural areas?, so that instead of taking 1,5 hours to get into the city it would go down to a similar time or lesser time than by car? How about incentivize öv instead of penalizing the ones that need a car or truck for work, think about all the trade-workers that need their Vans for work ?….
This is again just a way to gather more money for whatever.
they should incentivise car pooling. all the cars during commute are empty
When they increase it car owners will cry a lot, but will continue to drive just as much as they did before. And then a few years later they buy an even bigger car.
Given the low price elasticity of demand for fuel, that’s a ridiculous statement
It is like taxes on tobacco. A raise of price will always trigger a much lower drop of demand.
It’s an easy way to milk taxpayers.
No, i dont like to reduce my wage. Cant take public transport so it would just hurt me. This would mainly affect the lower classes and countryside
What a joke. This is just another layer of tax that will do nothing to address chronic underinvestment in infrastructure that has made getting around in Switzerland a time consuming and insanely expensive ordeal.
In the end it’s impacting the poorer more than the rich for a problem mostly created by the rich.
Instead of all this nonsense regarding gas/cars/public transport they’d better make remote work mandatory for all work that is possible. All those people traveling to Zürich or Bern just to sit in large office buildings all day. Would be much better for the enviroment to not travel at all and make more space for those who actually need to touch and move stuff for work.
Just one more tax increase bro. It will fix everything.
– your local bank robber
No, because public transport is still more expensive and cumbersome for me. If it’s cheaper I’d use it.
Bro, this won’t affect the folks that are filling up the cars with premium gasoline.
These kinds of measures always make me wonder if people really think everyone with a car is just driving around frivolously and will stop if you make it incrementally more expensive. I have a car because of my work commute, and making fuel 0.04/L more expensive is not an incentive for me to quit my job or to move away from my home town where all my friends and family are. You’d have to double the price for it to make me reassess my living arrangement. Anyone who thinks 0.04/L will change anything obviously thinks we’re all just driving around for fun all the time.
It would be hard for those wh cannot oive without like technicians and craftsmen.
We voted to limit immigration. Now apply it
It is a new poor tax. The reach people doesn’t care of this change but the poor families will not able to go shopping to far distance or do a holiday with a car. So at the end it will only make the poorest more vulnerable and the reach people can enjoy the motorway freely.
Don’t rise it by 4 cents, but 4 francs! People will need to pay the true cost of this almost free energy, and rethink their way of life. Do I need to go to work on-site everyday? Should I take the bus/train, can I run my errands once week, instead of every other day, do I need this 300HP SUV, shouldn’t I turn off my car instead of idling? I can go on and on.
Suddenly, there will be no need for another lane.
