Thursday 7 at 14.30 at the Bologna train
After Labor held a forum organized by Senator Walter Vitali
on the Metropolitan Railway Service attended by the Minister Transportation to
John Bianchi. Without clearly
quantify the investment of the government, Minister has shown a great interest on
. If the logic with which we intend to operate - he said - is
assessed on every road junction which could be among the many project
better, with regard to the Bologna node of the SFM is the project, not
there are others. All in all it was generated and the optimism that is
result can only be one. We'll see.
I was invited to speak on behalf of the committee members of the Bologna-line

beyond our discomfort on the line, the potential

I thank the Senator and Minister Vitali Bianchi
for this meeting on an issue that we want and to whom much has been discussed for many years .
I represent a committee of users of renewable energy, and then minor lines like the Bologna-
Portsmouth.
We travel every day on diesel trains operating from thirty to forty years', you see all year
. For the structure, uncomfortable, inconvenient and contrary to every principle of
mobility without boundaries. For the state, mostly decrepit and
arrancante, as is appropriate after so many years of service.
Ours is a line to a single track, but it would take electric trains and
new, low-floor, convenient and comfortable. In 2000 there was a
government appropriation for the modernization of trafficking, but that money has come
only a small part. Now they have been promised, with resources
local and regional improvements that we have reason to hope they are not
empty promises.
But despite the situation I have described briefly, but trains in rush hour rhythmic
around half an hour,
are always crowded. Just imagine how many more commuters could carry
- removing private cars from the streets - where the trains run
modern and comfortable look.
Allow a general consideration.
Half a century ago - in the late sixties - it was decided to dismantle
(to make room for more and more cars)
the tram network that served as the city of Bologna and its surroundings. Those were the times of economic boom and more
small car was synonymous with freedom, not only
motion.
In the same year it stopped the service on the railway line Bologna-Vignola,
replaced by a modern bus service and closed by dismantling
unfortunately the tracks, the railroad that brought Massalombarda Budrio-up users from Bologna
dell'imolese basins and Lugo.
Today the situation has changed.
more than a decade talking about trams in Bologna and sooner or later you will make.
The Bologna-Vignola railway has been restored and is in operation,
easing the traffic volumes that insist on the provincial road
"Bazzanese. The railway line Bologna-Portsmouth
has never stopped working, while seeing declining quality of its service. The
Budrio-Massalombarda remains, according to a study of the Province of Ravenna
, a railroad useful even today, that the community would agree
restore. But they lack the economic resources. So we are told by the institutions responsible
.
As commuter train know that the Metropolitan Railway Service
- which is spoken by more than a decade - plans to connect, among other
, Portsmouth with the Bologna-Bologna-Vignola
creating a service across the city that looks like a very
metro area - given the number of urban stations. But to get this
you should wait until the station is
refurbishment, completing the work of high speed and the beginning
restructuring planned but not yet started.
And so I'm asking - Mr. Minister - on behalf of the thousands of commuters every morning
leaves the station to put in motion
the town, its shops, offices,
its schools as the University of proceed on this issue with specific criteria.
to finance, before any other projects relating to the Bologna node
, completion of the metropolitan rail service, then all
regard to the arrangement of the central station, Adaptation
crossings citizens, the distributed stations, modernization of rolling stock and
- why not - the restoration of rail-
Budrio Massalombarda.
To give life to a modern public transport system that meets the requirements of
performance that deserves this metropolitan area.
