Cagliari, 13 August (LaPresse) – Free bus travel for children and young people in Sardinia until they turn 14. This is the new measure approved by the Regional Executive on the proposal of the Regional Councillor for Transport, Barbara Manca, which significantly expands the current free travel scheme, which is currently reserved for children under the age of 6 accompanied by an adult. The aim is to support families and, at the same time, encourage the use of public transport from a young age, promoting more sustainable mobility and reducing dependence on private cars. The measure applies to scheduled local land-based public transport services. “Extending free travel to children up to the age of 14 means making a tangible difference to families’ daily lives and, at the same time, investing in the future of our transport system,” explains Manca. “We want children and young people to become familiar with public transport from an early age and for these services to increasingly become a natural choice for their daily journeys.”
