Rome, Jan. 21 (LaPresse) – ‘I want to thank the half a billion travellers who, in 2024 alone, chose our country's trains, a record figure, never had before, and in absolute growth compared to the past.’ This was said by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, in his urgent briefing to the Chamber of Deputies on the situation of the national railway network. ‘To all of them, the promise we make is that we will do everything to guarantee transport that is increasingly efficient, safe and up to the standards of a great country like Italy,’ he added.
