Toll reduction: The stations where the discounts will apply – 2024-09-05 13:49:22

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Reductions in the price of tolls reaching, in total, up to 3 euros for car users, are planned to be implemented from 1 October 2024 until 31 December 2025, as a result of the utilization of the amount of 15.8 million euros , which corresponds to the benefit of the State from the refinancing of the Maliakos-Kleidi Motorway project, which took place on July 31, 2024.

“As we had publicly committed to the Greek Parliament, for the first time, the benefit we secured for the State by approving the refinancing of the Aegean Motorway, returns to Greek society through a significant and horizontal reduction in the cost of tolls at the motorway stations, both for car users and and for professionals”, said the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Christos Staikouras.

In particular, the discount concerns all categories of vehicles with a differentiation between light (EO) and heavy vehicles (BO), namely:

  • Discount (maximum 17%) for light vehicles at all crossings, either by using a transceiver (of any Concession), or by paying in lanes with a cashier (or automatic payment machines).
  • Discount (height 5%) for heavy vehicles, exclusively for crossings using a transceiver (of any Concession).

The period of application of the program is from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025 (a period of 15 months) and concerns the toll stations: Pelasgia, Moschohori, Makrychori, Leptokarya and Klidi, as well as the 17 side tolls in the area, based on estimates of the crossings from the specific highway, where the possibility of deviations has also been taken into account.

Specifically, the benefit for IX users from implementing the program is:

  • 2.8 euros for 2024, as the charge to pass through the five stations is reduced from 16.5 (today) to 13.7 euros, and
  • 3 euros for 2025, from 17.4 to 14.4 euros.

Regarding heavy vehicles, it is noted that the 5% discount for users who have a transceiver is added to the 7% discount, which is already available from the concessionaire.

With the agreement reached between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the concessionaire, the benefit returns directly to Greek society, with a reduction in travel costs for highway users.

Death toll after attack in Sydney rises to six, including 38-year-old mother of seriously injured baby

Death toll after attack in Sydney rises to six, including 38-year-old mother of seriously injured baby

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

“We were just shopping. Suddenly we saw the man walking towards the woman with the baby. At first we wanted to go there to help the woman, but I told my brother that we had better run away. We walked into a store. Then the mother came to us with her baby. She was injured and bleeding.”

Two men tell a reporter from the Australian TV channel Nine News how they tried to help a woman and her baby who were victims of a stabbing at the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping center in the Australian city of Sydney. Six people died. Five of them were women, according to police. The perpetrator was shot dead by a policewoman.

The woman who took refuge in the store with her baby has died. According to Australian media, it concerns 38-year-old Ashlee Good and her 9-month-old daughter. The men who saw Good and her daughter being stabbed had tried to stop the bleeding. They pushed clothes from the store racks onto the wounds. But the mother died in hospital. Her baby required surgery for serious injuries.

After the attack, a total of eight people were taken to hospital, “some in critical, life-threatening condition,” police said.

The perpetrator of the attack was shot dead by a policewoman. When he started his attack in the shopping center, the police officer happened to be nearby. Witnesses quickly called her and she chased the attacker to the fifth floor of the complex. “He then turned to her and raised his weapon,” a police chief said at a news conference. The officer then shot him. The perpetrator died. “She saved a lot of lives,” the commissioner said of the officer’s actions.

According to the police, the man entered the shopping center at 3 p.m. local time and then left. Twenty minutes later he returned and began his attack. It is not yet clear who it is or what his motives were. In the meantime, the police have ruled out a terrorist attack.

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the attack “a horrific act of violence, targeting innocent people shopping on an ordinary Saturday.”

Britain’s King Charles responded on Saturday to the stabbing in the Australian city of Sydney. “My wife (Queen Camilla, ed.) and I were shocked when we heard about the tragic attack,” said Charles, who is also Australia’s formal head of state. The British king added that his thoughts are with the victims and their families.

Pope Francis, in turn, expressed himself “deeply saddened” by the “senseless” stabbing. “The Pope expresses his solidarity with all those affected by this tragedy,” the Vatican said on Saturday afternoon.

Australian gun laws regarding knives and firearms are particularly strict. Attacks like this are therefore rare.

Manhattan Congestion Pricing Project: A Game Changer for New York City?

Manhattan Congestion Pricing Project: A Game Changer for New York City?

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The congestion of Manhattan has, for decades, been a subject of concern for the residents of the Big Apple, and for the mayor of New York. As in other metropolises on the planet, we deplore the congestion of the streets, the air pollution… But are things about to change? Starting in June, southern Manhattan will no longer be accessible to two or four wheels without payment. Unless the courts object.

An old idea about to see the light of day

Charging motorists to access the heart of the Big Apple is not a new idea. The project has even been in the city’s pipeline since 2007, at the suggestion of the mayor at the time, businessman Michael Bloomberg. But the principle, which of course is not unanimous, particularly in suburban towns, was only adopted twelve years later, in 2019, by Bill de Blasio, a democratic councilor with strong left-wing ties.

Fifteen dollars to access the south of Central Park

The project does not cover all of New York City, or even the entire island of Manhattan. It is to access the heart of Manhattan, namely the part south of Central Park, to the tip of the island, that motorists will have to pay $15 during the day ($3.75 at night). A sum to pay when accessing from the north, but also from Queens and Brooklyn, on the other side of the East River, or when coming from New Jersey, on the other bank of the Hudson River. Reductions are provided for low incomes.

The system, already in place, will allow payment by plate or by electronic toll, therefore without impact on the flow. On the other hand, according to MTA projections, daily traffic should be reduced by some 100,000 cars, a significant proportion for traffic estimated today at 700,000 vehicles. Trucks and motorcycles are also affected: the former will have to pay between 24 and 36 dollars, depending on their size; the others $7.50.

A first in the United States, contested in court

After years of procrastination and blockage, between administrative red lights and political bickering, the project now seems to be on the right track. But there are still a few potholes to avoid. The first is at the federal level, which has a say. A priori, the Biden administration should not object to New York imitating London, Stockholm or even Singapore.

The second concerns legal recourse. Because this project, of course, also makes people unhappy. First in the suburbs, where public transport, lacking investment and insufficient, encourages the use of the car. The State of New Jersey is trying to block this initiative. Then professionals, such as taxis and VTCs, also affected by the toll, but to a lesser extent ($1.25 for the famous yellow cars, double for services like Uber, paid in all cases by customers). The first hearings are scheduled for early April.
