Suspend e-tolls now, use gantries for traffic monitoring, says Outa

Getting so bored of these articles about eTolls. It's always the same thing, Outa complains or offers some solution which all boils down to "Stop tolling".

And the government responds in the same way every time.

Then don't read them.
 
Peters and Bhengu was urged to respond with “political courage to honour the civil courage shown by some 70% of Gauteng motorists who have refused to buy e-tags because of the lack of transparency over the e-tolling decision”.

It's not courage that they lack... it's integrity.
 
During the suspension of e-tolling, the national fuel levy is increased appropriately (estimate 10c per litre) to raise the revenues to meet the GFIP financial commitments. (If indeed a National fuel levy is a bridge too far for the authorities to accept, an inland fuel levy, such as was adopted to finance the fuel pipeline, will concentrate the charge to Gauteng motorists. Government has ring-fenced levies on fuel and we see no reason that this cannot be applied in this instance.)

The fuel levy is already going up by 20c/l from April 2014. They don't need to increase it any more. Just scrap the tolls.
 
The headlines i am looking forward to reading:

"Sanral suspends e-tolling with immediate effect and now looks at the fuel levy"

I'm looking forward to the following:

"Sanral suspends e-tolling with immediate effect and now looks at Nkandla and other stolen Tax for income stream"
 
Once the highways are paid they will use it for traffic monitoring.
It's already monitoring traffic.
No more lying to your spouse or parents, etoll will track you lol
 
theres money in the system. yes for etollies. how else must the people earn a living? go out and get a real job? you guys are to harsh!
 
Lol, why does OUTA bother releasing statements like that? They seem to be clutching to their relevance quite desperately following the failed court cases.

Have they started working up those boilerplate forms to submit for non-payment yet? That would be a better use of their time.

Reality:
"Budget speech gives Sanral fuel levy, e-tolls to continue as well."
