MISTERBIANCO – From July 1st the new bus connections between the city of Misterbianco and the stations Nesima, Fontana and Monte Po from the Catania Metro. Today in the town hall the press conference to present the new local public transport plan in the presence of the mayor Marco Corsaro and the general director of Ferrovia Circumetnea Except Fiore.
“In a few weeks – said Mayor Corsaro – our city will be connected in a direct and homogeneous way to the metro stations. The Fce shuttles will touch Misterbianco center and the neighborhoods of Montepalma, Linear with more than twenty stops at strategic points in the area. Furthermore, we will shortly formalize an agreement with the Catania AMT for the extension of line 702 on Belsitothus also connecting that neighborhood to the Etna metro”.
“We are developing for the first time in Misterbianco – underlines Mayor Corsaro – local transport that is finally intermodal and well-studied, increasingly closer to the needs of many citizens who want to move easily by public transport”.
The operating program for the new connections, drawn up by Fce and the Municipality, provides for a Monte Po-Misterbianco-Monte Po shuttle line which will pass through the commercial area and the entire historic centre; a second Monte Po-Nesima-Lineri-Monte Po shuttle line which will touch the Montepalma and Lineri districts with shuttles up to Piazza Mercato. The services will be active starting from the first day of July.
“We are meeting the legitimate needs of the city of Misterbianco – added the Fce general director Except Fiore – in the context of the overall development of the Catania metro: work on the section up to Paternò is already well underway and we hope to soon unblock the Monte Po-Misterbianco construction site as well”.
“In a few days – he concluded – we will inaugurate the new Monte Po and Fontana stations which, for Misterbianco, will be a strategic outlet, directly connected via the new Fce buses to all the neighborhoods of the city”.
