The management of the local public transport service was the subject of a discussion this morning at the Municipality of Agrigento in the offices of the vice mayor, Aurelio Trupia, in which, in addition to Trupia, the mayor, Francesco Miccichè, the councilors Gerlando Principato and Carmelo Cantone, the architect Salvatore Di Salvo, as Rup, the director of sector V, Alberto Avenia, of the Civil Protection, Attilio Sciara, the representatives of TUA, doctor Samuela Scelfo and the engineer Riccardo Bigotti. The meeting also arose from reports of disservices by the private work USB – local public transport.
At the end of the meeting, Mayor Miccichè states: “Local public transport constitutes a primary service for which we have never omitted attention and commitment to solving any critical issues and inconveniences. Despite the formally extended invitation and requests for explanations, no representative of the USB union took part in today’s meeting. We express our regret for this absence, as we believe the contribution of all parties is fundamental for a constructive and transparent discussion. We reiterate our constant commitment to maintaining open channels of dialogue and collaboration and remain confident that more active participation can be ensured on future occasions. Our willingness to organize further meetings to explore the topics in question remains unchanged. We have been working for some time to complete the process relating to the new tender, faithfully adhering to the relevant community legislation. And the procedure will be concluded as soon as possible, in less time than in other Sicilian municipalities. Everything is focused on maximum transparency and coordination, to protect the quality of the service, the workers and the interests of the citizens”.
