Saxony-Anhalt: ADAC: Tank discounts are not yet effective

Magdeburg (dpa/sa) - Despite the tax cuts for fuel, the ADAC in Saxony-Anhalt does not believe in particularly heavy traffic over the Pentecost weekend. Although one expects more travel, but many travelers would switch to public transport with the 9-euro ticket, said a spokeswoman on Thursday. In addition, the effects of the tank discount have so far been marginal. She therefore does not believe that many motorists would use the car for cost reasons.

According to ADAC information, experience has shown that Pentecost is particularly popular with short vacationers. In particular, the construction sites on the A9 and A36 caused traffic jams. The A2 near Magdeburg and the A14 near Halle are also viewed with concern.
