From February 5, the price of patents for all categories will change. The news is announced by the General Directorate of Road Transport Services, which says that the review and indexing of all fees and services has been done.
"From a detailed analysis, it results that the extension of these services in terms of time, eliminating the obligation to appear at the counter, facilitating the transition from one category to another, as well as reducing indirect expenses (calculated here at 7,569,450 kilometers round trip, 529,862 liters of fuel, 12,616 working days/year time spent), cannot be considered as an increase in tariffs, but on the contrary results in an average saving of 4,170 ALL per citizen per year", says DPSHTRR, while emphasizing that the change in these tariffs benefits 189,179 citizens.
