Robecco sul Naviglio, January 25, 2011 - Call a taxi costs € 20-25. An expenditure which, multiplied by 24 days a month, would upset the budget of any family. The bus to call, with a € plus the cost of transportation, had concealed the discomfort of those who live in Casterno, Cascinazza, and Carpenzago Castellazzo. Four fractions of Robecco that, overall, residents gather 2600. A small town. From December 31 the service of road transport on individual demand is not there anymore. Atinom, the company formed by 39 municipalities members who ran the lines to the southwest of Milan, is starting to liquidation, after which the Province has awarded the route to Cal, the Consortium autoservizi Lombard.
"We have more than half of transport to Abbiategrasso - residents complain -. We have to make do. " When it resumes from the Christmas break families have organized car-sharing systems, English word "car sharing." Nothing could be institutionalized, as happens from time to Milan, where they were born companies who rent to students and workers in car sharing. But private initiative launched by some parents who, in turn, accompany the children not yet of age Abbiategrasso. "Since December 27 we can no longer count on the bus to call - Cairati says Rita, who lives in Casterno -. Those living in the villages no longer connection with a public Abbiategrasso and Magenta, the closest cities where there are colleges in the area. The mothers in turn have offered to accompany children to school. We must reconcile the times of entry and exit with the office. " The majority of population works in Milan. "The fact that it is an obstacle in most commuters - says Antonio Salamone, a resident of Cascinazza -. There are guys who are entitled to school transport, whereas others do not have it. We got to the point that families must plug the shortcomings of the institutions. " The Town Council has written to the Province so that they find a remedy. "The bus was on-call service costly it has been confirmed until December thanks to the efforts of municipalities and Atinom which bore the expense - the mayor of Robecco, Giuseppe Zanotti -. I switched because it affords the Palace Isimbardi splits a form of public transportation. The council can only solve the link between the villages and the capital, but has no competence on the way to Abbiategrasso or Magenta. "
"If there were minibuses that stops at Cascinazza could overcome the problem of the bus to call - said Sebastian Capizzi -. They say that buses can not pass because the roads are narrow, but we see regularly from our homes to pass the truck. We are concerned because we do not see a real commitment of the institutions or a desire to invest in public transport. Yet the growing population in the surroundings: between Cascinazza, Casterno, Carpenzago Castellazzo and houses approximately 120 boys between 13 and 18 years. " "In these municipalities are now forced to move with the car - he complains Lorenza Gamberini -. We hope that those who now attends school in a few years to use the school bus. "
