The Circumvesuviana is still at the centre of controversy over the increase in ticket prices that will come into effect from the first August.
"Once again the Campania Region's TPL policy is in dissonance with the citizens' requests. Less than a month ago we had publicly asked to review TPL fares and introduce a single popular-price pass on Eav lines to encourage the use of TPL and make travellers loyal to the use of public transport, instead from 1 August the increase in single-ride and/or integrated tickets is authorised".
That's what he writes Enzo Ciniglio, commuter spokesperson facebook group 'noaltagliodetraindellacircumvesuviana'. “An inappropriate choice, in contrast with what happens in other European countries, a choice that does not encourage the use of public transport.
Given the period of crisis, many families in August will only be able to afford a few trips out of town, instead of increasing fares - he adds - a family card with a controlled price should have been introduced, but in Campania for the poor travellers there is no listening, nor attention, practices reserved only for those who can afford to pay for a charter train".
