“The region places not only the economic burden on users, but also the responsibility for the choices made through the 2018-2032 service agreement”

The commuter teams of Levante Ligure, Defense Transport Valle Stura and Orba, commuters Savona Genoa, Commuters Genoa – XXmiglia and Cinque Terre are shocked to learn that the regional transport sector has been called upon to decide who should get the adults. From 1 January 2022, railway ticket prices will increase between passengers with season tickets and those without.

“These increases are already projected at 2% in 2019, 7% and 6.5% in 2021 and 2022, respectively, through the 2018-2032 service agreement, and are linked to Morandi with other government funds from 2019 to 2021. First the emergency and then the Govt – because the deal explicitly” them If the region intervenes to stop the implementation … it will have to pay an annual increase related to the expected increase for Trinidadia and will not be implemented “(CdS 2018-2032, Art. 16, paragraph 5). 4.5, 2.5 and 1.5%, respectively, to offset the rental cost of 48 electric trains, which, at the end of the process, will allow new cars to travel, but for trains with less than 15% capacity, which has already proven to be inefficient – to the extent that they travel in dual combinations – and they can not be fully rolled. . Region “.

It is not in vain that the committees asked the region to carefully evaluate the clauses and consequences of the agreement, for example, to understand how necessary it was to increase them instead of reducing the number of seats, daily news about cov- ers and congested vehicles was needed.
“Not to mention the fact that at the expiration of the contract Liguria will have very high fares on some routes, even in Italy and Europe. The new rolling stock will not belong to the region but will be available to the railway company. The region is now asking them to indicate to whom the consequences of non-participating decisions will fall, and the irony is that these increases, expected in January, will not face any increase in service: no coverage of hourly “holes” in Genoa-Busalla, no increase in Ponente or Levante; Isolated as usual, there are no extra pair trains on the Genoa-Aqui Term, and last but not least – almost all the way Lum will continue to face continuous delays and inefficiencies. Acting as figs is not just commuter committees, but also in times of economic crisis that we face. The region must anticipate the consequences of its choices and decide who will pay more and who will pay less.
