December 24, 2013
The Tuscany is the first Italian Region to have determined to interrupt the "fiduciary relationship" with Trenitalia for the development of the railway connections on the regional territory. "We have decided - the president of the Tuscany Region has explained, Enrico Rossi - to exercise the right not to renew for others six railway for services regional years the contract with Trenitalia, and therefore to proceed to a new contest, analogous to how much we are making for public transport on rubber". "We will be - it has confirmed - the first region to make it. The Tuscany, than many they define "a conservative" region, on the contrary pushes a lot on the frontier of the innovation".
Rossi has remembered that the contract with Trenitalia will be valid anchor for all 2014: "we will continue - he has specified - to exercise our right of control and to ask based on the current contract the one which we have right to ask. We will continue to travel on the regional trains in order to verify the state of the service. While we will ask the government, the parliament and the authority of the transports to put in conditions the Regions for making attractive, competitive and participated contests".
According to the city council member to the Transports of the Tuscany Region, Vincenzo Ceccarelli, "government and parliament would have to make a law in order to obligate the manager to put on material rotabile, workshops, warehouses in order to return the contest truly fit for use. We will estimate - it has added - capitulating that it previews improvements of the service, investments, times of confidence. There is need of new trains, punctuality, intermodalità. Also RFI must improve own infrastructure".
