Opposition party mayors will not accept the motorway toll, with Dialogue politician and 14th District mayor Gergely Karácsony dismissing the idea as simply a means of collecting money that is not integrated into any transport organisation concept.

He said Tarlós and the Fidesz mayors did not have the courage to send clear signals to the cabinet, although the measure is extremely disadvantageous for the city.

Government spokeswoman Éva Kurucz said the cabinet has been examining the question of introducing county stickers for years and feasibility studies will be made available in the near future.

She added that the cabinet will discuss the issue on Wednesday.
