Regeringen och Sverigedemokraterna planerar att halvera priset på månadskort i kollektivtrafiken i hela landet från den 1 juli till årsskiftet. Ett stöd på runt 7 miljarder kronor ska gå till regionerna för att täcka intäktsbortfall.

Tidöpartierna väntas presentera förslaget under en presskonferens på tisdagen. Stödet ska gälla i sex månader och kompensera regionerna för lägre biljettintäkter.

Oppositionen kritiserar åtgärden hårt. Socialdemokraternas partisekreterare Tobias Baudin kallar regeringen desperat och menar att den saknar trovärdighet i frågan om billigare kollektivtrafik.

Flera regioner välkomnar sänkningen men varnar för utmaningar med den snabba tidsplanen. Inget extra stöd ges för ökad trafik eller högre bränslekostnader.
