The tariffs of public maritime transport in territorial continuity between Sardinia and the smaller islands of San Pietro and La Maddalena have been updated .
Ticket prices will increase by 50 cents for non-resident passengers on the two islands , the Transport Department announces, underlining that the fare update is due to a request from the companies that carry out the service under the extension regime, Delcomar and Ensamar . Increases which, it is also specified, are adjusted to last year's price index, as envisaged by the contract.
The fare increase is calculated at a maximum of 10%: starting next May 2, you will pay €4.70 on the La Maddalena-Palau route, €5 on the Carloforte-Calasetta route and €5.40 on the Carloforte-Portovesme route .
The passage for cars up to 4 meters in length increases by 90 cents on the La Maddalena-Palau (10 euro instead of 9.10), by one euro on the Carloforte-Calasetta (10.60 instead of 9.60) and 1 euros and 20 cents on the Carloforte-Portovesme route (13.10 instead of 11.90) .
Residents who will continue to pay 1.30 euros for a ticket on the La Maddalena-Palau line, 1.30 on the Carloforte-Calasetta line and 1.40 on the Carloforte-Portovesme line will be excluded from the increases. No increase, in this case, not even for the transport of residents' cars.
"To keep the non-resident rate under control, the Council recently approved the allocation of 900 thousand euros to the Municipalities in support of price reduction policies", explains the councilor Antonio Moro, recalling that " the last increase dates back to 2016 and that the cost of tickets for residents is confirmed among the lowest in Italy ».
