The possible increase in the price of tolls on the section between Curitiba and Florianópolis, which today is R$ 1.10 per axle, has stirred protests from the Union of Transport Companies Freight Paraná (Setcepar).

For carriers, it is too early for that to happen and increase spending on maintenance and operation of the service should have been well calculated by the dealership before taking control of the stretch.

"The dealership claims that some toll plazas were slow to take place, but they are business risks that the company has made and problems that should have been provided - when the OHL wanted to enter the process," attacking the president Setcepar, Fernando Klein Nunes.  "It is unacceptable that a toll increase for so recent. They are not amateurs to claim ignorance, because I manage other parts of Brazil, "he added.

The concessionaire OHL, responsible for the stretch, turned to the federal government to ask the readjustment, with the claim that it is necessary to regain economic and financial balance.

Just as the OHL, the utilities of other six lots of federal highways make the same claim for adjustment or extension of the schedule of investments on roads. The companies justify the state bureaucracy involved in the delay in its introduction.

So far, no one knows for sure what percentage of the adjustment required, since the National Agency of Transportation (ANTT) has not officially ruled on the matter. OHL also said it will not manifest itself in relation to the possible increase.

Another criticism of the transport of cargo is related to the toll on the shaft down truck, which began to be collected on Friday at toll plazas ring integration of Parana. The price for each axis can reach R$ 17 in certain squares, according to Nunes.

"The recovery is not fair, since the axles suspended not use the highway. You are paying for a service that is not used, "accuses the president of Setcepar. Calculations of air show that this change will increase by 20% the cost of the toll for the carriage of cargo.

The Brazilian Association of Highway Concessionaires (ABCR) reported, through a note that the collection of suspended axles is a contractual right and you do not need government authorization to change.

Bill (PL) underway in the Legislative Assembly provides for the exemption of such recovery. Another PL, authored by state Pericles de Mello (PT), or electronic billboard in toll plazas to the count of vehicles passing through the roads. According to the deputy, now the government is hostage to the concessionaire's own data.
