These are the main objectives of the work program of Atac for 2016, presented today by the Director General Marco Rettighieri and by the sole director Armando Brandolese. Not only. This summer also will start the overtime work on metropolitan Rome. On lines A, B and B1 it will provide for changing of the tracks, railway ballast and the power line. “This will allow us to increase the capacity of the lines – explained Rettighieri – will work at night, on weekends so there will be an appreciable effect on users.”

In the course of 2016, so, Atac will buy 150 new buses. To these will be added 100 to be recovered after being stopped in storage for lack of spare parts. The new buses, of which the first 50 will be on the road later this year, will be purchased in the next few months and will lead to an increase of 10% of the park currently available. “It’s going on the race – has clarified Rettighieri – are means of 12 to 18 meters and in September will come first. These cars will add another 80 CNG buses Atac will buy thanks the EU funds made available from

They will take off from the summer then the extraordinary work on metro a, B and B1. As for resources, explained the company, “the new administration has succeeded in raising to begin bridging the gap”, alleging that the metro “infrastructure funds suffer from a maintenance deficit that has accumulated over of several years, during which it was not possible to have the resources for investment

<. "p> the Rome-Lido, another sore point. “For about a week traveling with 9-12 cars a day. The goal was to get there in June, but we managed it in advance. We are therefore reducing the waiting time and we succeeded because we reinternalizzando all routine maintenance and extraordinary – said Rettighieri – with five new substations can put air conditioning in all the means of Rome- Lido. Before the power line could not keep up. we riadeguando the means and 8 of 12 trains will have air-conditioned by June. With 6 new codes then we can get a

Among the changes, even one concerning the tram 3:” we are working so that between April and May come back in the stretch between Pyramid and Trastevere, “she said general director of Atac , Marco Rettighieri. Who reported again: “One of the first input that has given us the Trim Commissioner was to be transformed into a showcase of Rome on bus 64, which goes from Termini station to St. Peter. We are doing so even input with our personnel in plain clothes surveillance and personnel of the State police on board. the media are of one type and recently among other things there is the cleaner that climbs to an end. “

But the main goal of ‘ public transport company Capitoline, for 2016, “is to reach zero evasion in the underground. We have to re-accustom people to pay the ticket. How? With the presence of Atac anywhere on territory – continued Rettighieri – But put the turnstiles in and out for the buses is an impossibility. it would take hours to do a journey of a few kilometers. the goal is to halve the escape on surface lines by 2016 and in the future we plan to other technologies such as “sensors. Then the clarification: “Who does not achieve the objectives that the company gives can not remain within the company. It is not me but the industrial sense. I do not have an ax or hatchet. All are important, but no one indispensable. “

Atac has 11,771 employees. Those of buses, trams and trolley buses are 6,068, 51.5% of the total. The so-called operating personnel accounts for 87% of the total. To 6,068 drivers must be added the 1,293 employees who perform service, and, metropolitan and regional trains, 531 support people, 901 workers for surface vessels and 816 for the meter. In addition there are 642 employees in auxiliary mobility services. The remaining 13% of the staff is divided among the 48 officers and 1,472 internal employees.

Currently, the trams in circulation in Rome, out of a total of 164 media, are just 65: the fleet of circulating vehicles It has therefore been reduced to less than 50% of its potential. Buses on 1920 are 1,303. “Some media are very old – said Rettighieri – and a problem is that there are spare parts for these vehicles, since the ‘Stanga’. What we do to rebuild and spare parts by the workers in our factory. It is then going on a first general review on the means of the series ‘Rome 1′ and ‘Roma 2′ which is something quite long. ” As for the buses, as mentioned, they are in total 1,920 (circulating 1,303) of which 1,575 oil (circulating 1,020), 398 to methane (circulating 280) and 60 of which 51 are in electrical litigation (circulating 3). The trains of the Rome-Lido are 23, of which 13 circulating, also in this case with a reduction of approximately 50%. The metro trains are 106, of which 96 are in circulation: 38 of 39 on the line A, 45 of 54 on the line B and 13 of 13 on the line C. The media on Roma Viterbo are 22 (21 vehicles),

while those of the former Roma-Pantano is 27 (19 vehicles).

the Corporate director of Atac , Maria Grazia Russo, added: “We have 500 million of loans with Lazio region. We must distinguish between those esegibibili, such as those for work on the network, for service contracts and those for loans on tariff concessions. Another question is the historic match for the non-recognition of contract renewals. “
