Abstract

The core question of this text is whether the current intensified debate on zero tariff in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the consequences of its management, and of inflation resp. rising energy and food prices especially due to the Ukraine war offers possibilities to strengthen the idea and concept of zero tariff as a transformational instrument. The analysis of the discussion and literature on practical zero tariff experiences shows that the challenge is to target the debate on the long term, focusing upon the predictability of positive outcomes as an issue of public health. The focus must be on socially and ecologically sustainable mobility, on the development of public transport and the strong relativisation of the car as a means of satisfying mobility needs.
