“Avtodor” secretly increased travel costs on toll roads

The Avtodor company, which manages the country’s toll roads as usual, decided to increase its revenues before the start of the holiday season. But this time I’m quiet. Portal “AutoVzglyad” discovered a creeping price increase for users of “payers”.

Usually Avtodor is not shy and announces in advance in the media about any increase in the prices of toll roads in the country, which are under his control. But this time (perhaps with some uncertainty in their actions), the company decided not to outrage the heads of the public and quietly increased the fare on four of its six “own” routes. Tariffs were increased for M1 Belarus, M4 Don, M3 Ukraine and M11 Neva at the end of April. The prices for the Central Ring Road and the current stretch of M12 “Vostok” were not affected.

The fare for certain sections was not increased much – by about 10 rubles for each of the sections. But within the framework of a completely transparent logic – to collect more money from vacationers. On the M1 “Belarus” – in the section 33-66 km, and on the M3 “Ukraine” – in the sections 124-150 km and 150-194 km. And on the M11 Neva and M4 Don, on which vacationers travel to the end of the highways to the Black Sea and St. Petersburg, prices have risen almost along the entire length of the highway.

After that, Avtodor’s PR people can tell the media as much as they want about the company’s almost disinterested service to Russian motorists. However, the reality only shows the desire of the road builders to “bite off” as much as possible from the expenses of car owners during their vacation. Otherwise, the increase would not have been introduced all the way at the end of April, just before the May holiday, when many capital drivers rush out of town. Apparently, the company’s management didn’t even think it necessary to warn them about the price hike this time. According to the principle “yes, where are you going – from a submarine.”
