Analiză: Românii încep să renunțe la mașină abia atunci când litrul de carburant ajunge la 10-12 lei

Dumitru Chisăliţă argues that increasing fuel prices alone is an inadequate solution for reducing traffic without significant investments in public transport and urban planning. He highlights that while higher prices may influence behavior, they do not create alternatives for those reliant on cars, particularly low-income individuals. Chisăliţă notes that a critical price range exists where consumer behavior shifts, but many still depend on their vehicles. He emphasizes that true change in mobility patterns would only occur at much higher fuel prices, which could lead to a significant reduction in daily car usage and fuel consumption. However, he warns that even at these levels, the system remains operational.
