Although the information of a non-renewal of the transportation service to call that turned, came at the eleventh hour agreement with the Province. In time for the start of school Sept. 13. Here the article by Luke Balzarotti of the Day:
The agreement was found. The transport service introduced by Atinom call on an experimental two years ago will start again Monday. "We have reached a solution with the concerned municipalities and the province - said the director of public transport company, Magenta, Monica Sottocorno -. With the resumption of school buses will resume at the individual request." The investment will be divided as follows. The seven municipalities that have joined the initiative - Magenta, Corbetta, CISL, Albairate, Abbiategrasso, and Arluno Robecco sul Naviglio - will spend a total of 1800 €. The same amount that the Province has put on the table. The remaining costs will be covered by Atinom. "We will continue only until December - says the Director-Sottocorno. Then the service will be permanently suspended." At year end, in fact, comes into force a new regime that will regulate the public transport by road in the south west of Milan. From December 27 will change from a system based on concessions - previously the province established lines of transport and granted concessions to companies, including Atinom - to the service contract that will govern the relationship between building Isimbardi and Cal, the Consortium autoservizi Lombard, who was awarded the lot southwest. The province has ensured that this shift will an improvement in quality, with a gradual replacement of cars and, if necessary, the introduction of additional transmission lines. But today, students of certain localities, especially of Robecco, are likely to have a public transport only for the first months of school. What will happen to the resumption of classes after the Christmas break is too early to tell. Certainly, the end of the year-end sounds like a warning bell for students and workers in the Magenta and Abbiatense who need to reach the main school and the area (Magenta and Abbiategrasso) and railway stations serving the territory in Milan. The hardest hit would be residents of Cascinazza, Casterno, and Castellazzo Carpenzago, that data in hand, students who have been in recent years have mostly benefited from the transport to call. "We plan in the coming days a meeting with the City of Robecco - anticipates the director of Atinom -. The service will be reintroduced in the same races in force until June. It would be pointless, in fact, disrupt schedules and routes for only three months ".
