Vandals in action tonight at Mandas railway station where new Stadler trains were spray painted . The gesture just one month after the inauguration of the convoy in service on the section that connects the town with Monserrato and Isili.
According to the secretary of Fit Cisl , Alessandro Russu : «Some uncivilized people acted during the night, taking advantage of the absence of company personnel. Now ARST will be forced to clean up the train with its own resources, which in the meantime will not be able to circulate». "What is most indignant - underlines Russu - is that this uncivilized gesture damages trains that have just entered service, precisely at a time when ARST is working to improve the railway transport service for faster journeys and high-level comfort for passengers . The message that must pass, especially among young people, is that such acts of vandalism involve an enormous deployment of organizational and economic energies to the detriment of line users and the community as a whole. The incivility of a few - concludes the secretary - damages all those who use public transport every day to get around and who will suffer inconveniences and disservices independent of the manager in the coming days".
Anger and dismay also on the part of the mayor of Mandas , Umberto Oppus, who updated his followers on Facebook with a post dedicated to what happened. “The 'usual suspects' defaced the trains. Additional cleaning costs, commuter disruption, train delays, and so on. I hope that Arst will immediately position the cameras and not just the security guard, who will also be present at the station tonight».
