Circumetnea Railway and its recent development, the potential, programs for the future and the experience of public transport Etna local train were presented by the government commissioner Gaetano Tafuri yesterday morning in Rome, during a conference organized dall'Asstra, a national association that brings together local public transport companies and private . Present, among others, the chairman of Commission IX Transport Mario Valducci the Chamber of Deputies and the Secretary of Infrastructure and Transportation Bartolomeo Giachino. In particular, during the conference and panel discussion attended by Commissioner Tafuri and the heads of other major companies (including the newly formed "NTV" Luca Cordero di Montezemolo), we tackled the theme of the aspects positive and negative effects of liberalization of the railways in the regions. "The issue of regional transportation is too important because there are millions of Italians who want to travel by train for day trips and also by us in the South, for example, the commissioner said Tafuri-people are discouraged from biblical times to reach the your destination, consider that between Catania and Palermo currently travel by train is more than 5 hours, or because the trains are dilapidated and service on board and ashore, very bad. In this bleak landscape FCE has assumed a role as important today as to constitute an organizational self, much appreciated by users in constant growth, with a network that stretches and modernize, to offer services to passengers in progressive improvement. Unfortunately, we note with great sadness, in the light of what emerged from the conference dell'Asstra, that high speed is likely to stay in Naples. But we can not give up because there can be a country with two speeds. FCE in the last two years, and has shown a willingness to have a more functional to the requirements of citizenship and to those of a phase of gradual growth in tourism. Given the results we have proposed a model of the Sicilian Region self-management of the railways, if accepted, will be concretely implemented with positive implications for the territory of our island. In alternativa si potrebbe aprire al mercato internazionale per porre comunque fine ad al servizio attuale sin troppo scadente e vergognoso. E' importante comunque costruire collaborazioni e non chiudersi in se stessi».
