中国收费公路世界之最

The number of toll stations and high fees increase the cost of transport and logistics.

据《中华工商时报》报道，有数据显示，全世界的收费公路总里程达14万公里，其中的10万公里在中国，占总里程的70%。

2008年国家审计署的报告显示，2005年，18个省市的4328个收费站共收取过路费5100亿元。

数量众多的收费站和高额的过路费加大了物流成本。在中国，物流成本占国民生产总值高达21.3%，而在发达国家，这只占10%左右。

Most of world's toll roads in China

Statistics show that of the 140,000 km of toll roads across the world, 100,000 km, or 70 percent of the total, are in China, according to a report in China Business Times.

A 2008 report by the National Audit Office showed that, in 2005, 4,328 toll stations on roads in 18 provinces and municipalities collected a total of 510 billion yuan.

The number of toll stations and high fees increase the cost of transport and logistics. In China, logistics costs amount to 21.3 percent of GDP compared to around 10 percent in developed countries.
