What’s ahead for public transport users. The new measures to counter tax evasion – but also to meet the rights of commuters – is contained in the draft decree on services local public.
Among the possible innovations, as reported by TgCom24 , the most important is the right to reimbursement of the ticket: users can apply for a refund if the delay exceeds half an hour (limit that goes up to an hour in the event of strikes, natural disasters or other unforeseen events).
ALWAYS VALIDATE YOUR TICKETS – The bus and subway passengers will then swipe the card at each race. This would be a novelty, since today in many realities subscribers or consumers purchasing fixed-term travel tickets are not to validate it every time.
THE FINES TO DODGERS – In order to counter tax evasion who does not ‘strip’ the travel document undergoes a financial penalty to be established with regional law and where there is no law, reads the draft, the fine “is equal to 60 times the value of the ordinary ticket and in any case not more than 200 euro.”
tHE CODACONS PROTESTS – the draft decree does not was welcomed by Codacons speaking measurement “ridiculous” that will have no effect. “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 , would have been obvious to think of measures that enhance the service, and not to heavy punishments for passengers, already damaged by poor service, technical problems and constant strikes. Especially when you consider that there are public transport routes, such as the Roma-Lido in the capital, where the disruption and inconvenience are so frequent that users should be able to travel for free. “
