Road toll vignettes to become more expensive

The price of an annual electronic road toll vignette will rise from the current 1,500 to 2,300 crowns next year within the austerity measures introduced by the government, Transport Minister Martin Kupka said on Friday. The ministry is planning to introduce a one-day vignette, from March of next year, which will cost 200 crowns. On the other hand, the price of the ten-day vignette will drop by 40 crowns to 270 and the monthly vignette will cost 430 instead of the present 440 crowns. The current prices have been in effect since 2012 but the minister said they would now be reviewed and upped regularly.
