Sicilians asking commuters to work on regional policy: inflation, Cuts and Service Contract.
Stoppato at the moment the specter of cuts in long-distance trains, three important issues remain on the table and connected to each other. The subscription of the Service Contract Regione Siciliana Trenitalia, the problem of cuts to regional trains and feared rail increases. These issues are of significant importance for the future of commuter rail and the Sicilian island. Any ol'immediata signing the Service Agreement, would invalidate the dreaded cut announced by the unions of 50 trains of rail Sicily. Hazards that must be avoided at all costs to prevent these cuts could spell the end for many railway lines Sicilian considered "deadwood" from Trenitalia . Hazards that must be avoided in order not to fail the opportunity to commute Sicilian to continue to rely on half their trips by train to work, study or whatever. It seems that the current 11 million km / train currently made in Sicily, at a rate of hours of December 12, 2010, will be reduced by about 3% and exactly 330,000 km / train that will not be made and to the detriment of all, Sicily, commuters and tourists. The issue of budget cuts to spending on public transport by rail regions by the national government, and the consequent issue of price increases of tickets, is a tangible mockery of commuters who just this year had begin to see the long-awaited improvements in all Italian regions, and that the new service contracts of 6 + 6 years of life were to guarantee certainty in rail transport. Instead, in Sicily want to do that, the damage of the few available infrastructure, travel time longer and longer, more and more decrepit rolling stock, is added the insult of having to pay a higher transportation cost for a service that provides mobility efficiency and effectiveness of sustainable transport itself. At this point, it should send a clear message to our political representatives Sicilian to take substantive action at the national government to prevent these price increases that severely penalize in a region which, until now, has been cut off from large infrastructure investment and today, still less is penalized by paying a more expensive in the absence of those infrastructure that make the difference between north and south.
