Question 27606 — road transport

Summary

Ms. Pascale Boyer draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the financial situation of road carriers. Faced with the scale of the health crisis, passenger road carriers are raising the alarm about their financial situation. Almost all reservations were canceled just as the peak of annual activity was about to begin, cancellations mainly due to the fact that travel School and adult trips are mostly canceled, with no possible postponement, with an obligation to fully reimburse trips that were reserved and prepaid. In addition, in certain departments the cessation of school transport due to the closure of educational establishments adds an additional loss of revenue. These companies, for the most part VSEs or SMEs, will have to, despite the absence of revenue, assume the payment of charges which prove to be significant: insurance, rent of premises, loan repayments, advertising costs, payroll. The MP welcomes the Government's responsiveness in putting in place support measures for businesses. However, in order to ensure the viability of these companies, which provide a service to the population in particular by providing school buses and public transport in the territories rural areas, she asks him if he plans to set up a guarantee fund to prevent business bankruptcies, a request also expressed by the national passenger transport federation.
