Saiello: “The already disastrous regional public transport system, already struggling with systematic cancellations and ordinary breakdowns in normal times, could only collapse with the start of the tourist season.
After the Naples-Torre del Greco via Centro Direzionale and Naples-Pomigliano d'Arco routes, the Ente Autonomo Volturno cancels with minimal notice a third line of the Circumvesuviana service: this is the Naples-Scafati-Poggiomarino, which from Saturday 9 July until 31 August will no longer be covered by Eav trains.
For over ten years, the Pendolaria reports by Legambiente have defined the Circumvesuviana as the worst public transport service in Italy. A service that, with the arrival of summer and an increase in the number of tourists, has paradoxically drastically reduced the number of trips.
Without forgetting that the weakened or closed stations are mainly in peripheral areas, in defiance of all the regional projects for the recovery of the suburbs. For over two years we have been reminding this executive that in the face of a growing demand for public transport, the levels of service offered are decreasing in step". This is what the Regional Councillor of the 5 Star Movement Gennaro Saiello said, who this morning filed a written question on this ancestral affair.
"For years - Saiello emphasizes - we have been calling for a change of direction. The bulletin of these last weeks is mortifying and risks creating gigantic damage to the image of tourism. It is necessary for the management to take note of it and behave accordingly. It is clear that we need to act to reorganize and strengthen the service to users and we hope that this will happen quickly - concludes Saiello-.
