    > __So many are just passing through:__
    according to the Federal Statistical Office, transit traffic – that is, traffic passing purely through the country – accounts for around a third of passenger traffic across the Alps. So-called domestic traffic, where both the point of departure and destination are in Switzerland, also accounts for a third, as does passenger traffic from abroad into Switzerland and vice versa. The most common route for those travelling through is from Germany to Italy.

    > __Mainly leisure travel__
    >The figures also show that most people travelling across the Alps do so for leisure activities. Other reasons, such as commuting for work, are far less common. On the roads, the proportion of leisure travel is particularly high at 87 per cent.

    I was already aware that transit traffic accounts for a significant proportion, but a third is certainly a major additional strain on the infrastructure.

    Good move by the authorities. Maintaining infrastructure with Switzerland’s terrain isn’t cheap.

    Pretty much an ideological reaction.
    Very difficult to put in place and a first step into controlling even more the people movements.

    To me is still a remote possibility, so I won‘t give it much attention for now.

    Just immagine thinking that a 27 CHF tax will make a tourist travelling from let say Netherlands to Italy for two week holidays change transportation means.

    That is totally unrealistic.

    It Is just a steal on normal people going to their well deserved holidays.

    Maybe the consequence of such discrimination against foreigner cars would be that the swiss cars will have to start paying for the Autobahn in Germany or paying higher fees in Austria or Italy. Not really a good move

    Good move. Let‘s tax the people from outside of Switzerland. It benefits us all and it puts the burned for once of the correct people. Love it

    > to preserve a certain fluidity of our traffic

    I didn’t know money fluidifies traffic. If you just want to squeeze more money out of foreigners there is no need to gaslight like if they had a choice to take other routes.

    If you really want to improve traffic you also have to increase capacity with that money.

    The Swiss using their geographic location in the middle of Europe to squeeze others.

  8. Imagine Germany wanting a Maut just for Ausländer.

    Oh wait, they did.

    And rescinded it.

    While the sentiment is understandable, this seems like a nightmare to actually implement.

    People complaining here are sooo funny. You use a road, you pay for its maintenance. Simple as. 

  11. I don’t think the implementation will be that hard or expensive. License plate recognition at every border crossing, if a license plate enters and exits within the same 24h period, you have to pay.
