Unjustified Price Increase for Single Ride Tickets on Naples Metro Lines 1 and 6

The price increase for 'single ride' tickets to 1.50 euros on lines 1 and 6 of the Naples urban Metro is unjustified and incomprehensible. This is stated by Assoutenti Campania, ready to take legal action to protect the rights of Neapolitan travelers. 'We demand the immediate suspension of this burdensome measure,' says honorary president of Assoutenti, Antonio Di Gennaro - Given a service that is still far from European standards, with a train every 9 minutes along a route of just 18 km and 19 stations, and an average journey time of 33 minutes, an increase of 15.4% in fares seems unjustifiable. Line 1, despite having the most beautiful station in Europe, that of Via Toledo, still fails to shine. We ask the Campania Region to convene the regional Mobility council and the Anm company for an urgent roundtable with consumer protection associations before the increases take effect. If our requests are not met, we are ready to take legal action to challenge the absurd price hikes in the competent forums,' concludes Di Gennaro.
