With each new Amsterdam city council, the message louder and clearer: “keep the $ % * ^ % (@%$^car from our city’. Just presented D66, SP, VVD and their coalition agreement. Relevant for the motorist in all of this: the parking fees are up to 25% increased. The increase in the agreement is to apply to parking permits, paid parking lijtk just nothing to be done.

A nice example of the tactics because first (when GL was still on board) we were with a doubling to fear. This was the lubricant that allows the current to increase just a little bit smoother when the citizen is brought inside.

In 2013 moved to the municipality of Amsterdam 166 million euro in revenues. This year we are going over the 200 million?
