SNCF: the government justify the rate increase – Le Dauphiné Libéré

                             
                                     

The average increase of 2.6% of train fares, December 31, remains across the throat of users. So much so that the Secretary of State for Transport and his ministry, Ecology and Energy, have each issued a statement yesterday to justify this increase, which far exceeds the rate of inflation. “The train will now be able to continue investing in maintenance,” including argues the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy. And highlight “This 2.6% increase is needed to improve the quality of service offered to travelers, as in 2014, only the VAT increase was reflected in the price of the Notes”.

The Association of users of passenger railways (Avuç) does not share this view: “These are the everyday travelers, those who use the train to work who bear the brunt of this increase” , she said on Friday.

“limited financial effort”

The government insists its part on the fact that this increase, which comes into effect as of December 31 – a day of great attendance – will not apply on all fares, “but only on the full price.” “The call price (Prem? S) and the discount cards including therefore remain unchanged. SNCF will be able to offer more discounts to more modest travelers, in return for limited financial effort required of the most affluent (more than one million additional discounted tickets will be published in 2015), “explains the ministry said.

The controversy was soon to take a political turn. According to Marine Le Pen, president of the National Front, “this increase is just when the train leaves more clearly its public service mission to prepare for the opening to competition of rail transport in 2019 at the behest of European Union “.
