Regjeringen og Sverigedemokraterna planlegger å halvere prisen på månedskort for kollektivtransport over hele landet fra 1. juli og ut året. En støttepakke på rundt 7 milliarder kroner vil gå til regionene for å dekke tapte inntekter.

Tidö-partiene forventes å presentere forslaget på en pressekonferanse tirsdag. Støtten vil gjelde i seks måneder og kompensere regionene for lavere billettinntekter.

Opposisjonen retter skarp kritikk mot tiltaket. Partisekretær i Socialdemokraterna, Tobias Baudin, kaller regjeringen desperat og sier at den mangler troverdighet når det gjelder billigere kollektivtransport.

Flere regioner ønsker prisreduksjonen velkommen, men advarer om utfordringer knyttet til den korte tidsfristen. Det gis ingen ekstra støtte til økt trafikk eller høyere drivstoffkostnader.

Hva folk sier

De første reaksjonene på X blander støtte til å gjøre reiser rimeligere for lavinntektsgrupper, skepsis mot de involverte politiske aktørene, og bemerkninger om at lignende ideer tidligere har blitt foreslått av andre partier.
