Refunds in case of delayed or canceled races and hefty fines for scoundrels who take public transport without a ticket. So provides the draft of the decree on local public services which devotes several articles to the local public transport. The right to reimbursement is triggered after half an hour when it comes to public transports or after an hour if it widens the beam at the local level.

Protests Codacons – A ridiculous measure will have no effect. So Codacons rejects the draft decree on local public services, which provides for fines of up to € 200 for those who use public transport without paying. “Obviously we are opposed to any form of evasion and we believe that those of bus facilities and metro without tickets go punished – said the president Carlo Rienzi – but in the light of the sorry state of local public transport and the many hardships that beset daily users, it would have been obvious to think of measures that enhance the service, and not to heavy punishments for passengers, already damaged by disruptions, strikes and constant technical problems. Especially when you consider that there are public transport routes, such as the Roma-Lido in capital, where disruption and inconvenience are so frequent that users should be able to travel for free. “” it would have been logical to fines and penalties for companies that do not guarantee an efficient and prompt service to passengers, and yet again it aims to punish exclusively citizens “- concludes Rienzi.
