April 25, 2020 "The state will take care to compensate for a part of the non-ticketing that the companies have had both in the acute phase, therefore March and April, but it is clear that they will have this problem for the whole period until we return to a reasonable normality ". Infrastructure Minister Paola De Micheli told RaiNews.

Mask on planes and e-tickets
"First of all, the social distancing, and therefore a reduction in the number of people who will be able to get on the individual vehicle. Secondly, the rules are linked to the type of vehicle: there will continue to be an obligation to wear a mask on planes. There will be stations and airports of the dedicated routes by direction of travel and on vehicles indicating that one door can only be climbed and the other exit. " Minister Paola De Micheli added explaining some of the next rules for transport to Rai News.   

"We will help in the coming weeks to make ticketing more and more electronic and we are thinking to help companies calculate the filling capacity of vehicles," he said, adding that the Government is also thinking about a "work organization model that provides for differentiations of access times above all. We will anticipate resources to encourage alternative mobility. We will modify the highway code to allow municipalities to quickly build new cycle routes. "

"We don't want this phase to make everyone want to use the machine more, but we have to find a balance between safety and the ability to move," added the minister.
