Rejoice, Motorway fees in Switzerland will not be going up!

You got love this place, daft idea.....dear voting public (not me) what do you think?

We think it's a daft idea, NO.

From Swiss Info:

In a third nationwide vote, the Swiss said no to a proposed increase in the annual motorway fee from CHF40 ($44) to CHF100 in order to fund a series of road works.

It would have been the first price hike for the mandatory sticker, known as the “vignette”, in nearly 20 years.

Just wait for the government back draft. Expect a major hike in petrol taxes to compensate and then nobody will be able to say anything except moan and groan...

Lets find and promote ways of getting away from our dependency to fossil fuels and I'm not saying develop pedal cars!

Yes, I think we need to lobby Tesla to put supercharger stations at the top of the Furka, Susten (in that car park after the tunnel), at Grimsel Hospiz and by the cafe on the Nufenen. Maybe one at the Gotthard. Let's face it we're going to stop and have a chat anyway in these places so why not charge up at the same time?

Excellent idea and 'green' charging also, i.e. windriven! Guess the yearly GA would take a couple of days....
