FIAB - Italian Federation of Friends of Bicicetta, warmly welcomes the agreement between the Region of Liguria Trenitalia Liguria, which provides, by next December, the introduction of free transport of bicycles on the regional trains.
Councillor Vesco has responded to requests from cyclists Liguria, using a small portion of the penalties owed by Trenitalia registratisi for inefficiencies in the region to allow the transport of cycles on regional trains in the next four years, or throughout the remainder of the service contract.
"This is a strong commitment to sustainable mobility," said Romolo Solari Vice President of National FIAB. "Undoubtedly the benefits of this measure for cycling and the environment. The cyclists will be encouraged to reach by train and bike paths of the new Coastal Park in the west, dell'Entella, Fontanabuona Valley and the plains of the Val di Magra. Do not forget the high value of the measure in urban areas. Genoa has 23 railway stations such as urban serving a vast area along the coast and interior valleys. The use of cycles combined with the train can make more profitable use of the railway to reach places where it should not close the station. Commuters especially will benefit economic and substantial savings of time using the bike path in the house / station / workplace. Similar requests made in the past three to

A similar agreement is already in force in some regions Italian, which are then progressively adapting to other European countries such as neighboring France, where for years the bike ride without paying. The initiative is part of the Ligurian policy in favor of the bike carried out in recent years by the Liguria Region is to facilitate the travel of those urban tourists starting to crowd the paths that are gradually realizing along the coast. We are not yet at the levels of Trentino, which last year saw the presence of 2 million cyclists, but surely this is a good sign for the improvement of quality of life in Liguria.
