“It is absurd to increase the cost of leaving your car in the parking lot of the Afragola high-speed train station from 4 to 7 euros, especially in a period like the one we are experiencing with families struggling with inflation that has not been this high for years”.
This was stated by the member of parliament of the Green Left Alliance, Francesco Emilio Borrelli, the municipal councilor of Afragola, Antonio Iazzetta and the territorial representative of Europa Vedre Salvatore Iavarone, specifying that “starting next November 1st, all the rates will change with increases that, in some cases, will be close to 100%, as in the case of daily parking, which will go from 4 to 7 euros, but also of the hourly rate which will go from 80 cents to 1,50 euros”.
Several citizens have come to the aid of Deputy Borrelli to raise the alarm.
Here is one of the reports:
“I am writing to you to make you aware of the unpleasant situation that many commuters who leave Naples every morning and arrive in Rome to work and ensure a dignified life for themselves and their families are about to face.

From November 1st, the parking at Afragola station, managed by Metropark, will cost not €4 per day but a whopping €7.
That is, an increase of almost 100%. This increase is completely unjustified, considering the quality of service will remain unchanged. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that this company enjoys a monopoly, given that there are no viable alternatives for commuters, given that Afragola station is not accessible by bus or train.
“Significant increases also for season tickets, both for those subscribed also having a train season ticket and for those accessible to all, independently of the train season ticket, with unsustainable increases for those who go to the station every day to take the train and reach Rome for work” they added Borrelli, Iazzetta and Iavarone for whom “instead of reducing the risks deriving from the continuous flooding of the underpass that one must travel through to reach the station and increasing road connections, the costs of parking are increased, which, among other things, is completely insufficient”.
