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.

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.
