Too much crowding on the trains and the platform of the Milan metro as the coronavirus curve expands.

This has been highlighted by the complaint of

Alessandro De Chirico

, councilor in Milan for the Forza Italia party, who uploaded two photos this Tuesday of passengers waiting for the arrival of convoys and inside the wagons.

"Parada Cadorna. 8.52. The Milanese, dear Beppe Sala [mayor of the city], have adapted to the use of the mask. Can the same be said of the ATM [Milan transport company]?

Where are the controls to avoid overcrowding in the subway? Allow

me, dear mayor, that, before pointing the finger at the others, tell you to first worry about fulfilling your responsibilities. "

ATM, the municipal transport company, has replied to the councilor who has made the complaint on social networks.

"At that time, at Cadorna, the agreed restrictions were fully respected.

The 80% capacity limit has not been exceeded

.

"

The turnstiles keep track of the commuters who enter the metro and when the planned limit is reached, they are blocked.

The moment a train arrives at the station, ATM emphasizes, "overcrowding can be created

because the people entering and leaving coincide".

Also, remember, you cannot speak of "overcrowding: it is not mandatory to maintain the minimum distance of one meter on public transport".
