SUPPLY, QUALITY AND SATISFACTION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN ITALY MILAN EXPO 2015

Some of the results obtained from the survey that Altroconsumo recently carried out on supply, quality and satisfaction of public transport in Italy, through five thousand interviews for citizens who use the urban transport (bus, tram, metro, etc..) in 12 of the main Italian cities, accompanied by numbers explain the context in which we live.

1. Each of us loses an average of about 227 hours in the queue each year;
2. Each family bears a charge for the car, which varies between 2000 and 5000 € per year;
3. Italian motorization rate is among the highest in the world (598 cars per 1000 inhabitants);
4. the time to replace the cars fell from about 8-10 years to around 3-4 years;
5. the sum of all Italian metropolitan amounts to 161 km (Paris and Madrid than 200 km from the sun in London over 400);
6. only 11, 6% of all trips in the city is by public transport (you get to 47% in Milan ed al 32% a Roma, ma si è lontani da Parigi, Madrid e Barcellona, che superano tutte il 60%);
7. il 30% di chi usa i mezzi pubblici dichiara – paradossalmente – di usarli perchè “mancano i parcheggi per le auto”.

Nell’indagine emerge una bassa soddisfazione per chi usa i mezzi pubblici, che però deriva da diverse cause. Non è peraltro difficile immaginare una situazione diversa e migliore: basta seguire gli esempi delle città più virtuose, che in Europa non mancano. Sempre Altroconsumo segnala in particolare i casi seguenti:
1. A Friburgo (220.000 abitanti) sono in vigore da anni politiche di forte restrizione del centro al private traffic. 90% of residents live in areas with low traffic. 70% of journeys are made on foot, by bike or by public transport. There are 400 km of cycle paths and over 4600 parking spaces for cyclists.
2. In Malmo (280,000 inhabitants) there is a neighborhood where travel only pedestrians, bikes eg buses (which are also powered by biogas produced from organic waste, and without burning a single drop of fossil fuels - oil or natural gas). Only 35% of households own a car (unless the other make use or car sharing).
3. In Paris it was possible to reduce traffic by 20% in just two years to create an integrated transport system consisting of buses, metro, trains, car sharing and bike sharing (with 1,360 service stations and over 20,000 bike, always available).
4. Local public transport in areas with low demand is often absent or toilets with low frequency, and therefore unattractive and used. However, organizational and technological innovations of recent years permit the construction of service models with good flexibility, which make public transport more attractive in areas with low demand.
