Ecopass in Milano, a starting point

traffico milano.jpg
From today, the most polluting cars will have to pay for a pass called Ecopass to go into the centre of Milan.
Letizia Moratti has been strongly in favour of this tax to reduce pollution and she has introduced this even against part of her own majority. The outcomes of this Pass can be evaluated in the next few months, but this measure is anyway a strong signal of a change of direction in the occupation of the city by private vehicles and thus in the emission of poisons in industrial quantities into the air. Letizia Moratti has had the courage to “do” something. This is rare in a country that is dominated by chatter. It’s possible that the measures are only partially effective, but it is a starting point.
My opinion is that in Milan, as in the other most important cities, the historical centre should be closed to private vehicles and that the use of alternating registration plates for being on the road, is a simple and effective remedy against the traffic as well as the introduction of electric public transport vehicles, including taxis as well as safe cycle tracks. But it’s necessary to start somewhere, and this is why I thank mayor Moratti for having brought in the Ecopass in Milan. It has already shown itself to be very effective in other big cities in the world, as for example in London.

Come si vede che non avete un cavolo da fare muovete le terga pagliacci invece di rompere le scatole con la legge sull'aborto che tirate fuori solo per gettare fumo negl'occhi.
Ormai non ci fregate più, non siete neanche capaci di prendere a calci bassolino e iervolino colpevoli dei disastri di napoboli, ma ZOMBOLITANO a parte dire cose in tv non si vergogna nemmeno un nano secondo per la situazione e lei che è ministro delle infrastrutture??? I sistemi di raccolta differenziata e smaltimento rifiuti non mi dica che non c'entrano niente in assoluto e per finire pecoraro ascanio invece di belare scemenze a piene mani e girare con l'auto blu gratis e nemmeno a metano che cavolo fa? a parte il pagliaccio?! NIENTE ESATTAMENTE COME LEI, PRODI, ZOMBOLITANO e tutti i vostri cari compagniucci di merende che guarda caso anno nuovo aumento di stipendi nuovo vero?? Pensavate che non ce ne fossimo accorti vero?
A proposito aspetto ancora risposta in merito agl'espropri fatti dalle banche in Sardegna causa mutui, o la cosa non la riguarda perchè col suo stipendio da MINISTRO PAPPAMENTARE...non ha problemi, male che vada potete sempre farvi una leggina dopo l'indulto per i vostri amici banchieri magari vi fate un "giubileo" sui debiti bancari.
Non ci siamo altro che mani pulite a 15 anni di distanza possiamo parlare di MANI IMPASTATE!!

Caro Antonio, però facciamo anche che i residenti nelle città dove vigono le targhe alterne paghino il 50% del bollo? Lo volete capire che siamo stufi? Buon lavoro e buon anno...

Sorry Antonio, but this time you are in a wrong way! you have to incentivate other than THIS initiative that is NOT condivided by users.... In Paris, all night, the road are water cleaned (more better than NOTHING now in Milan!).... in this mode the pollution were reduced drastically! infact Paris is one of the better BIG city without pollution..... Incentivate the use of Liquid Petrol (gpl) instead of remove the discount card to buy it! Please, ripiate!

regards, rosS
