Lift road and bridge tolls

It's well known that oil, real estate and finance companies make huge profits. But now the media report that companies engaged in building roads and bridges make even more profits. The huge profits they make increase logistics costs, which in turn raise prices of goods and materials - and are partly to blame for the recent hike in vegetable prices. Perhaps it's time to reform the road- and bridge-building sector, says an article in Guangzhou Daily. Excerpts:

Why are tolls so high? The reason is simple: Tolls are used to repay the cost of building roads and bridges.
