“With 6,240 bike spaces available every day in Veneto, equal to a quarter of Trenitalia’s total offer, 896 of which on one of the lines most frequented by cyclists, Bologna – Verona – Trento – Bolzano – Brennero, the “Tutto bici” service proves to be an effective initiative to fully achieve one of the objectives that the Region has set itself: the promotion of cycle tourism and slow, green and intermodal mobility. Cyclists can, in fact, get on the train with their two-wheelers and reach one of the stations near the cycle/pedestrian paths that connect Emilia-Romagna to Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige, such as the Ciclovia del Sole. One year after the launch of the initiative, bike supplements sold have increased by 45 percent, with a fleet that can be defined as 95 percent bike-friendly. A service increasingly requested and used by two-wheel lovers, who can thus enjoy the scenic and cultural beauties while practicing outdoor sports, with an eye to physical well-being but also to environmental protection”.
This was stated in Verona, on platform 1 of the Verona Porta Nuova railway station, by the Vice President of the Veneto Region and Councillor for Infrastructure and Transport, Elisa De Berti, during the presentation of the Trenitalia service dedicated to cyclists, Tutto Bici, on the Bologna – Verona -Trento – Bolzano – Brennero line, one year after the launch of the initiative.
Also present were the Director of the Veneto Regional Directorate of Trenitalia, Ivan Aggazio, the Councilor for Mobility of the Municipality of Verona, Tommaso Ferrari, and Corrado Marastoni of Fiab Verona.
“Since the launch of the new “Tutto Bici” trains, there have been 8,000 travellers per day in the summer of 2023, with peaks of up to 9,000 on weekends,” said Vice President De Berti. “Every day there are 896 dedicated bike spaces in the carriage, 64 per train, and 6,720 seats. There are 14 daily connections available on the Bologna-Brennero line, with 7 trains on the Brennero-Bologna line, 4 on the Brennero-Verona line and 3 on the Bolzano-Bologna line. A sustainable mobility service that is increasingly attractive for all those tourists who choose to discover the beauties of the Veneto region on two wheels.”
