Transports in Italy

According to the informations that we can

read on ISTATs reports,
We can certainly say:
That during the end of the XX century
we had an encreasing request of public
transport:

71,8% of the students use a mean of

trasport
88,1% of the employed use a mean of
trasport

But in the opinion of users, the most critical

aspects of service are the
cost of tickets, the convenience of stops and
cleaning of the transports;
the most appreciated, the speed and frequency
of service.
 Cars

The motorisation rate is equal to 608 cars per thousand

citizens, in slightly decrease
In European comparison Italy is by far one of the most
motorized countries.
It remains the preferred mean of transport by the Italians

Italy has a railway network extended for 27.5

kilometers per 100 thousand citizens, with
strong regional inequalities.

The high-speed network constitutes 5.6

percent of the overall network.

declining,
