Toll collected on Czech motorways to exceed expectations

The heavy vehicle toll collected on Czech motorways will be a billion crowns higher than expected in the first year of the system's operation, experts in the field told the CTK news agency. They said the overall amount of money collected would be higher due to a significant growth in the volume of road transport thanks to the country's fast growing economy. The full year revenue is expected to reach 5.8 billion crowns. The system's operator Kapsch should receive 2 billion crowns for its services. Following some teething problems at the start of the year the system has run smoothly.
