Rome, tram 2 is back in service: that’s when
It is considered by the Romans, and not only, to be one of the most comfortable means of getting to the Olympic Stadium. Although in reality it is used by many people who live or work in the streets of Via Flaminia. Let’s talk about the tram 2, from piazzale Flaminio to piazza Mancini, one of the best known in the capital, but also one of the most troubled “career” Roman public transport. Line 2 of the tram has in fact been interrupted several times due to the many works, not least the one that started in November 2020 for maintenance and safety. But today there are important news. Because tram 2 is about to return to service.

Jobs, replacement buses and controversies
From one year in fact, line 2 is no longer functional, suspended for work. In its place, ATAC had laid out a line of replacement buses, which traveled the same route but which could carry fewer people. In fact, the tram is 33 meters long and boasts 56 seats and 184 standing places for a total of 240 seats: a capacity significantly higher than 12 meters in length, 22 seats and 70 standing, for a total of 92 seats. , buses. The citizens’ controversy, crowded both inside and at the stops, they were wasted. And the “light at the end of the tunnel” seemed to get further and further away, given that in February 2021 the Capitol Mobility Commission had announced the lack of funds necessary for maintenance, and that therefore the tram would only be back in service in 2022.
In service from 18 December 2021
Instead, it was the one who gave the good news to commuters and citizens of the northern area of Rome the newly elected mayor Roberto Gualtieri: “Work has been accelerated on the tramway site of tram 2, which will be ready for completion by the end of November enter into operation on 18 December“. In short, one more month, more or less, and tram 2 will be able to return to make the Roman transport sector more comfortable.
