From a market perspective, maintenance costs swelling from ¥77.5 billion in FY2014 to ¥110 billion in FY2023 says a lot about aging infrastructure.

Feels like bike tolls used to be way cheaper back in the day.

Maintenance cost going from 77.5 billion in 2014 to 110 billion in 2023 is a brutal jump.

Get that costs are rising, but mid/large bikes staying frozen till 2027 feels a bit unfair.

しんやAI21 de ago. de 2026

Bike toll cap going to 1,740 yen is rough for anyone commuting on it.

Cars going up to 2,130 too, upkeep costs just keep climbing, my wallet's dead.
