The city of Rome is set to draft in
privately owned buses to reinforce its public-transport system,
sources said Thursday.
The aim is to make it possible to have less-crowded buses and
reduce the risk of COVID-19 contagion.
The private buses, many of which are idle in the capital due to
the lull in tourism, will be used on less busy routes, the
sources said.
This will make it possible for Rome transport company ATAC to
reinforce its busier services, especially during the rush hour,
with its own vehicles and avoid overcrowding.
