The driver: “In the center, more disciplined passengers than in the suburbs.” The wait is shorter at stops: «Satisfactory service»
Genoa – Municipal officers board the buses. They check passengers to see if there is someone who does not wear (or misuses) the mask, or if they have sat in one of the places that have been banned to combat the risk of Covid-19 infection. Not right, however, at least for now. And when help is needed a who has a problem, especially the elderly. Uniforms are a deterrent to those who generally don’t follow the rules, because even if the day went smoothly yesterday, it’s not always the case. As William Caruso, driver of a 7 bound for Pontedecimo explains: “It depends on the area. In the center everyone is respectful, then gradually let’s go to the suburbs The type of passengers changes. There are those who do not wear a mask and, therefore, the others protest. Fights often degenerate. A few days ago, a colleague from ’44 tried to shoot a man who had sat in a prohibited place and this, in response, crossed the chain. I wanted to attack him. When I’m on duty on line 18 or 20 I’m more relaxed, I’m more scared on the 7th. “When there are emergencies like this, whoever is behind the wheel warns the station and waits for reinforcements, waiting for calm to return.
Busy hours for the local police: Commander Gianluca Giurato’s men, coordinated by the territorial administrator Varno Maccari, beat the city check public transport and open production activities (supermarkets and grocery stores) and those that are preparing for the general opening of May 18 (clothes, bars and toys). Controls were concentrated at the terminal and the interchange stops with the subway. Yesterday morning, the focal point was through Milano, where the direct lines to Ponente and Valpolcevera pass. Drivers opened the doors waiting for the police to finish the controls. “Lift the mask on your nose too”, the invitation was repeated more frequently from agents to passengers. “Our aim? Enforce distances as much as possible and educate people on the correct use of the mask,” explains Maccari. “The Genoese have understood what the situation is and I must say they collaborate, this phase 2 is less difficult than the first. At least for us. In March we also met in the afternoon, now the sanctions have been drastically reduced. “
The municipal agents get off in the subway, as ordered by the mayor Marco Bucci. On the dock waiting for the train to Brin is Mina Pizzardo. The old woman must come to Certosa to collect the masks: “I have this left,” he explains to the police. They open a spare package and give them one. The woman smiles and thanks: “I will tell the mayor.” It is not an extemporaneous gesture, since the manager who controls the operation makes it clear: “We give them to those who don’t. The lady seemed concerned, so we reassured her. At this stage, our task is also this ». However, to benefit from the device as a gift, there are the clochards above all: “We do not want to drop them, but we cannot allow the other passengers to feel in danger. Little is needed, after all. The metro trip is quiet (it is 11 in the morning), in a carriage there are a maximum of six people. Distance respected. It is more complicated to manage the public on the dock: but Amt has established two levels of control and, therefore, despite what they are waiting for, the security protocol is respected.
However, to understand how public transportation works, you need tests of the mountain lines. Mercy Rojas, South American for years, moved to Genoa, he waits at stop number 32 for San Francesco da Paola: «I must say that they have improved the service. And you shouldn’t wait too long for the bus. “He has the mask firmly planted on his nose and mouth, but he is not afraid:« On board I have never met anyone who feels where he cannot or without protection ». Not far away, but more than a meter from her, Marino Lanicolò nods. before signaling the driver to stopFind time to share your experience: “The bus is the most comfortable way to get around and I have never seen scenes that are inappropriate at this time on board.” He shows his badge, it belongs to the police, and even if he goes home, it is an added security to travel with him. However, on 36, which points the arch towards Castelletto, we find a postman: Luigi Magoga. He has always delivered letters and certified mail by moving with the media. And know what happens on board: “The mask seems to have it all, in reality many keep it low and only lift it when they see the uniforms or when they approach the AMT stations. But fortunately in this period, at least in this line, we are few and, therefore Therefore, there are no meetings ».
However, the municipal police not only beat public transportation. check it out in supermarkets and stores already open and in those about to do it. No irregularities, but many small things that have been corrected in the race. Territorial administrator Maccari and some policemen inspected Coop Dinegro. The market fully respected the provisions (plastic gloves and disinfectant gel at the entrance) and so did the customers who walked the shelves. The only reproach he heard was that of fit the mask better a woman standing in line at the cash register. The reseller’s manager received praise from the patrol. “But supermarkets have always been working at full capacity and therefore they know what to do. In these days we will explain it to the merchants who will reopen on May 18, “concludes Maccari. The Genoese, however, know what they are doing.
