the odyssey for travelers on the Stp line

And if it’s not students or commuters going to work in this period it’s tourists, many, many, who try to reach the Divine cities by public transport to attempt a tour of the area. Paradox, the most inaccessible destination is Castel del Monte, with which Trani should have direct connections, while on holiday days, when the STP line is stopped, Andria cannot even be reached, except with private drivers obviously at decidedly high costs. greater than public transport. But, returning to everyday life, the problem of tickets for the line that connects Trani to various cities in the area (in addition to Andria, also Bari with its stops but also Canosa, Cerignola etc), continues to weigh not only on “ordinary” travelers who often find it impossible to buy a ticket because the affiliated ticket offices have non-continuous opening hours and a coupon limit which, once exceeded, prevents anyone from being able to have the right to get on the bus: but also the owner of the bar who is in opposite the station, ticket provider for several lines but not STP. His business – for years now a reliable point of reference for travelers – is invaded every day by people who find no other solution than to turn to him to get the STP tickets that he doesn’t have, clogging up his business but above all putting him in the embarrassment of having to refuse a necessary service. The new ticket office, the one that has the availability of STP coupons, closes at 11:30. And then? That’s always the problem of having to reach other ticket offices that are much further away. These critical issues have been continuing for some time now and are indeed amplified especially in this period when the connection network, also and especially in certain respects during weekend holidays between local cities and places of tourist attraction, should have streamlined connections, fast, agile. There is a lot of talk about the tourist network in the Bat but one of the fundamental elements – namely logistics – seems to be completely neglected.
