No Paystation: !new!

The term has also evolved. It is now used more broadly in French political discourse to describe any successful citizen-led campaign against a regressive, usage-based public service fee. "No Paystation" is more than a protest against a few euros at a toll booth. It is a modern referendum on privatization, the definition of "public good," and whether citizens should have to pay twice for the same stretch of asphalt. For activists, it is a successful case study in how decentralized, non-violent disruption can force a national policy reversal. Note: Road tolling policies evolve rapidly.
