“Seta, this is not the case. The council must intervene”

Two sheets of paper taped to the timetable panel, with people grouped under the large shelter of Caserma Zucchi, waiting for a bus that won’t pass. It is the image chosen by the Circolo Trasporti Pd of Reggio, chaired by Antonio Casella, to outline “the attitude of detachment on the part of the Seta company”. This is how the notice of the temporary closure of stops and the diversion of traffic on the avenues was fixed: “A total lack of vision of the dynamics”, on the other hand “a service of this type cannot be managed while sitting in one’s offices “. The attacks on drivers are also well outside the company’s control and are now seen as a matter of practice: “A problem that is no longer acceptable or postponable. The unions are right to underline the total absence of structures dedicated to the staff on duty at Zucchi – he continues –. This demonstrates the now total abandonment of the drivers to their own fate, as when we read that the operations room would have ‘passed’ the burden of having the police intervene on the attacked employee.” The reference is to one of the latest episodes, reported by Carlino on Tuesday with the story of the driver beaten by a passenger, in response to which the unions united and asked the prefecture, the police and the mayor to discuss matters. “We ask the new council – specifies Casella – to take back the reins of local public transport, first of all by intervening on the management and governance of Seta”.
