Validation of this increase by the Constitutional Council has caused a wave of price hikes in transport ticket prices, both nationally and regionally.  SNCF has reflected the increase in VAT rates on its ticket prices and has increased by 1.5 points. RATP has also increased prices by 1.5%

An already highly taxed sector
Diesel prices, increasing as a result of rising oil prices, are already subject to high taxes.  Furthermore, professionals in the industry must take out special insurance compulsory for the transportation of passengers.

Providers must conduct vehicle maintenance to uphold optimal levels of comfort and safety.  In addition, the operation of shared and private airport transfer service requires regular modernization of the fleet vehicles.  Finally personnel expenses constitute a very large portion of the operating budget. http://www.parishuttle.com
