Milan proceeds briskly in the transport revolution. After the extension of the underground network with lines 5 and 4 under construction, the offer of means of sharing, after the success of car and bike sharing, is now also enriched with scooters: Enjoy, a company of the Eni group, today launched the first free-release scooter sharing in the Lombard capital, created in partnership with Piaggio and Trenitalia.
The presentation took place this morning in the Conference Room of Palazzo Reale, in the presence of the Mayor of Milan, Giuliano Pisapia, of the Councilor for Mobility, Environment, Metro, Public Water and Energy, Pierfrancesco Maran, of Eni's Chief Refining & Marketing and Chemicals Officer, Savior Sardinian, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Piaggio, Roberto Colanino and Ernesto Sicilia, Director of strategic planning of Trenitalia.
The fleet available to citizens will initially be 150 Piaggio MP3 three-wheeled scooter, 300LT Business ABS version. The vehicles were designed and developed in close collaboration between Eni and the Piaggio Group for specific use in sharing mode and to ensure safety and ease of use: maximum speed limited to 90km/h, two helmets supplied, disposable hygienic caps , front and rear cameras for the purpose of safety checks in the event of an accident or accident.
MP3 Enjoy can be guided with category A and B Italian licence (from 21 years of age for A and B licenses, A2 license and 21 years of age if obtained before 19 January 2013) and with foreign licenses recognized by the Enjoy service. New users can register via the app or on the enjoy.eni.com website, while existing users will only need to update their profile to enable the new service. In both cases, to complete the procedure, it will be necessary to complete the viewing of a video tutorial with the information necessary for the correct use of the scooter.
To use Enjoy's scooters you will pay a single rate of 0,35 euros per minute. The red MP3s have free access to Area C of the Municipality of Milan and can be released at the end of use in any parking allowed within the coverage area. Parking is free in the stalls reserved for scooters within the Municipality of Milan and in the dedicated areas at the city's Eni Stations.
The policy of sustainable and shared mobility, in support of a continuously improving public transport network, is bearing fruit in Milan. In 3 years the number of cars in Milan fell by 38 thousand (50 in 9 years), for the first time since the 60s below 700. Today in the Milanese city there are 1,93 inhabitants per car against a national average of 1,64 (the highest in Europe with the exception of Luxembourg). The congestion charge launched in January 2012 eliminated 25 million car transits in the city center in three years: -38% of fine particles in 2014 compared to 2010, -59% of black carbon.
