Once again with my car accross the border

I had recently the pleasure to travel once again accross the border with my Austrian car. The employees at the border are getting more efficient (and the traffic was limited), so that I had not waiting time. Where I did have to wait was to get through the "vignette" control, one of the most inefficient system of toll road in the world. The purpose of the 4 stage process is to sell me a "vignette" if necessary and the cost of the process is hugely high.

Let say for the sake of the argumentation that there are 10 main border crossing to Bulgaria. Let say that at each of these border crossing we shave this most stupid system and that 1 employees works at each stage. Then we need 4 employees times 5 shifts ==> 20 employees + at least 5 for sickdays and holidays. Let say that this shift has a shift leader and a deputy shift leader (10 bosses). These are then 35 employees. Multiplied by 10 crossing points, these are 350 employees. Add at least 20 to 30 IT employees plus some central management employees and you reach the phenomenal number of 400. Multiply by € 5000 per year (which should be the approximate full cost of one employee and...

€ 2.000.000

This is the employee cost of the system.

Divided by € 35 for a yearly "vignette" ==> the first

57.000

cars "vignettes" just for covering the cost of the system.

And I am not counting the time lost to cross the border. Of course if you believe that you are something special, as it is often the case in Bulgaria, you do not wait in the queue, but just drive in front by the "vignette" and drive further.

Why are the Bulgarians not reacting to this improper conduct of so-called important and rich people. Is it a cultural question? Are they afraid? Are they willing to lose their time?

I am very happy to propose a detailled analysis and solution of the vignette issue to the government and get paid 10% of the savings. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
