Cash-strapped highway freight hauliers are to take to the streets to protest a decision by Mandalay City Development Committee to double the parking and storage fees it charges heavy goods vehicles. The hauliers say MCDC has refused to negotiate in good faith after announcing the increase at the Pyigyi Mingalar long-distance lorry terminal.

U Win Myint, chair of the Highway Freight Transportation Service Association, told The Myanmar Times companies were informed of the changes on June 3.
“We were summoned to negotiate but we were unable to talk to anyone who could take a decision. We tried repeatedly to negotiate the new fees, but failed. Now
we‟re going to demonstrate against MCDC,” he said.
MCDC will raise parking charges from K350,000 to K700,000 a month for a
25-by-60-foot space, from K150,000 to K300,000 for a 20-by-40-foot space, and from K50,000 to K100,000 for storage. “We‟ve gone to a lot of expense to move
from the old lorry terminal and we have not really settl ed in yet. We‟ve told MCDC that this is not a good time to increase the charges and we‟ve appealed to them to negotiate the most suitable rates. It‟s not that we don‟t want to pay their rate. We just can‟t afford it,” said U Win Myint.
An official in the MCDC tax department, who asked not to be named, said the decision was made by the MCDC executive committee. He said such increases were permitted under existing tenancy contracts.
“When companies started to hire space at the terminal from MCDC, MCDC put a point in the contract that it is able to change the rent whenever it wants. So we are doing this according to the contract,” the official said.
But freight hauliers in downtown Mandalay estimate they have lost 75 percent of their business since the Pyigyi Mingalar long-distance lorry terminal opened in July 2013.
“The new place is nearly 10 miles [16 kilometres] out of town, so traders send their freight to the nearest transportation service instead,” said haulier U Thwin Soe. “My business is failing, but I have to pay the rates. If I cease trading here, I have to undertake not to run any transportation service in the MCDC area, which comprises seven townships. This is unfair and it will probably kill our business.”

囊中羞澀的公路貨運承運商都走上街頭抗議的決定由曼德勒城市發展委員會，以雙倍的停車場和保管費它的收費重型貨車。

吳溫敏，公路貨物運輸服務協會的主席，告訴緬甸時報公司被告知的變化在6月3日。

“我們被召集到談判，但我們無法和任何人說話誰可以作出決定。

我們嘗試多次協商新的收費，但沒有成功。

現在，我們要抗議錢秀蓮舞蹈團，“他說。

錢秀蓮舞蹈團將提高停車費從K350，000至K700，000一個月25×60英尺的空間，從K150，000至K300，000為20×40英尺的空間，從K50，000以K100，000進行存儲。

“我們已經走了很多費用從舊貨車移動終端，我們還沒有真正解決的評價。

我們已經告訴錢秀蓮舞蹈團，這是不是一個好時機，以增加收費，我們已經呼籲他們談判最合適的利率。

這並不是說我們不想支付他們的速度。

我們只是買不起，“吳溫敏說。

在MCDC稅務部門的一位官員，誰不願透露姓名的說，這一決定是由整個錢秀蓮舞蹈團執行委員會。

他說，根據現有租賃合同被准許的增加。

“當公司開始僱用空間從錢秀蓮舞蹈團的終端，錢秀蓮舞蹈團把一個點，它是能夠改變的租金只要它想要的合同。

因此，我們根據合同這樣做，“這名官員說。

但貨運承運商在市中心曼德勒估計他們已經因為Pyigyi Mingalar長途貨車終端2013年7月開業失去了75％的業務。

“新的地方是近10英哩[16公里]出城，所以交易者把他們的貨運到最近的交通服務，而不是說，”運輸者üThwin梭。

“我的工作是失敗的，但我必須支付的利率。

如果我
停止交易在這裡，我承諾不會在錢秀蓮舞蹈團區，其中包括七個鄉鎮運行任何運輸服務。

這是不公帄的，它可能會殺了我們的業務。

“。
