Transportation subsidy increased to 450,000 liras
The increase in fuel prices in Lebanon is significantly impacting transportation costs, leading to reduced car movement and a decline in the frequency of commuting to work. This raises the question of how much employees can afford to pay for transportation allowances. Currently, the official transportation allowance is 450,000 Lebanese pounds per day, amounting to approximately 9.9 million pounds per month. The Labor Council is presently discussing a mechanism to link this allowance to fuel prices, allowing it to fluctuate in accordance with price changes. In the absence of a comprehensive and effective public transportation network, Lebanese citizens are compelled to bear additional burdens, threatening their ability to maintain their normal way of life. This situation calls for establishing a fair formula that balances fuel costs, commute distances, and actual attendance days.
