The new initiatives of Ferrovie dello Stato, such as the renewal of the Frecciarossa, "are not linked to the competition that Ntv will make, but arise from a bond with our customers who are appreciating our service".
This was stated by the managing director of FS, Mauro Moretti, explaining that for the railways “a revolution is starting which concerns our customer and seeks to experience the moment of success of the Freccia Rossa. We try to give things never seen before, we try to respond with more requests from our different customers, from commuters to young people, from business men to top managers. These types will respond to different needs on trains. There will be no more classes, there is no longer anything social. Now let's look at the type of use and function that we want to give”.
The manager added that "we are also improving the Freccia Bianca, with new services and we are also improving on other trains". As far as commuters are concerned, Moretti underlined “the problems linked to the financial resources available from the Regions. I hope there are no cuts because the situation of commuters is already too difficult today. Today the services are insufficient in quantity and therefore we hope there are no cuts. We should have more trains for commuters, but more resources are needed and the ticket system also needs to be reviewed".
