"The €21.47 Billion Car Tax Illusion" examines the stark reality behind Greece's vehicle circulation fees. The episode dissects how the current €130 annual fee per vehicle covers merely 5.4% of the actual €2,412 social cost, resulting in a €21.47 billion annual burden on society. Through data-driven analysis, we explore the hidden costs spanning traffic accidents, pollution, congestion, and public space occupation. The discussion challenges common misconceptions about vehicle fees while highlighting the urgent need to reconsider our transportation choices and urban policies. Perfect for urban planners, policy makers, and citizens interested in sustainable city development.
