From the mortgage to the restaurant, to the bus: here is the map of the increases for families
[ad_1]
New year and punctually new burst of price increases resulting in a sting for Italian families, estimated at 2,400 euros for 2023 by consumer associations. After the increase in motorway tolls and petrol – which also sparks political controversy – there are also increases in local public transport, with upward adjustments to the price of bus and metro tickets.
The cost of the ticket from Naples to Milan
In detail, according to Assoutenti, the ticket in Naples has already risen from 1 euro to 1.20 euro over the past few months; in Milan the ticket from 9 January will cost 2.20 euros, with an increase of 20 cents. In Parma the increase is 10 cents with the cost of a one-way ticket going from 1.50 euros to 1.60 euros. In Ferrara, the cost of buses goes from 1.30 to 1.50 euros, while in Foggia from next March the single ticket will cost 1 euro (+10 cents). In Rome, then, from August 2023 the price will jump from the current 1.50 euros to 2 euros, with an increase of 33%.
Tolls, the average increases per route
Increases that are precisely on a par with those of tolls on the arteries under the responsibility of Autostrade per l’Italia, which have increased by 2% since 1 January, with the addition of another 1.34% from 1 July next, and with the elimination of fuel tax rebates. As regards tolls, based on Assoutenti’s calculations, to go from Rome (South) to Milan (West), for example, the toll rises from 46.5 euros in 2022 to the current 47.3 euros, to then reach 48 euro in July, with an increase of 1.5 euro. From Naples (north) to Milan last year 58.6 euros were spent while now 59.7 euros are needed and from next July 60.5 euros. To go from Bologna to Taranto, the cost rises from 55.1 euros to 56.1 euros and from July to 56.9 euros.
Without cutting excise duties, cascading increases
As regards the elimination of the cut in excise duties on fuel, Assoutenti always estimates an increase in spending on average equal to +366 euros per year per family and Staffetta daily points out that the cost of petrol and diesel has risen by about 20 cents per liter compared to the December 30th. “2022 ended with a rise in price lists” and 2023 opened with “the increase in excise duties on petrol, diesel and LPG, back to the normal level of 21 March 2022”, writes the newspaper that deals with sources of energy. «On transport, the Italians will face a real blow during 2023», says the president of Assoutenti, Furio Truzzi. “The worst thing is that these are completely unfair price increases, with consumers called to pay the bill for the current economic crisis”, underlines the president, thus explaining that “the Meloni government’s choice not to extend the excise cut is wrong, because price increases at the pump will produce cascading price increases for goods and services in all sectors».
Opposition to attack
And in fact, Codacons, by lining up the price and tariff increases, estimates a sting of +2,435 euros per family for the year that has just opened. “A figure that does not take into account possible increases in electricity and gas bills,” warns the consumers’ association. New increases that trigger the reaction of the opposition, with the Italian Left speaking of a government that “gives” increases to families while “protecting the strongest” with the “amnesty”. Action-Italia Viva accuses the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, of being “responsible for a real disaster”.
