A new controversy arose after the proposal made by the mayor of Medellín, Daniel Quintero, to eliminate the peak and plate measure currently in force in the capital of Antioquia.
The proposal generated all kinds of comments and numerous criticisms. A citizen oversight pointed out that with this type of action mobility in Medellín could become a business, something that cannot be allowed.
“We believe that the issue of mobility cannot simply be turned into a business. Second, there are no studies supported by mobility experts that show what the impact of this type of measures C /0:42 should not have exempt routes,” explained the mobility supervisor in Medellín, Mauricio Flórez, quoted by Blu Radio.
The mayor of Medellín replied to the previous comment, who found the Internet user right and said that “the average value should not exceed the amount currently paid by vehicles”.
“The mobility problem in Medellín is bad roads and traffic lights, public transport disorder, lack of roads, reduction of lanes on important roads, lack of bridges connecting the eastern and western areas of Medellín, among others,” is another comment on social networks about the proposed controversy.
Daniel Quintero's proposal to eliminate pico and plaque in Medellín
Medellín currently has a double-digit pickaxe and license plate for cars and motorcycles once a week; however, Mayor Quintero's proposal is to eliminate this measure and instead of restricting vehicular passage, a daily charge could be made for mobilizing on the city's roads.
Mayor Daniel Quintero has made clear his position on the peak and plate, a measure in which he does not believe. “The proposal would be to eliminate the vehicle tax or the bearing tax, which is annual and convert it into a tax imposed so that you roll with technological systems that measure how many kilometers you travel per day and with a charge that could range from 10,000 per day when using the car.”
Despite the fact that in the capital of Antioquia there is a double-digit peak and license plate, vehicle congestion has continued in some areas of the city, which is why it decided to present this option and in which it argued that a test was already carried out in Medellin and left quite positive results with regard to mobility.
“Medellin has already done a test, a congestion charge that operated for about a month that allowed us to understand, for example, that if we place a charge for 48,000 pesos a day, 97% prefer to leave the car at home, only 3% actually use it,” said Mayor Daniel Quintero.
Daniel Quintero added that people, having to pay an annual tax, try to “get the most out of it (the car), so they use it even to go to the store”, so when making a daily charge for bearings, people would start to lower the use of the car, so the number of cars in the city would decrease.
