Bra City Council motion against standardising public transport fares
Date of the event:
At its sitting on 2 November 2026 the Bra City Council (Consiglio comunale) approves, with 10 votes in favour and 7 abstentions, a motion put forward by the majority on "New local public transport contracts, fare adjustment for urban services." The motion concerns the tender for the Southern Basin (Bacino Sud) of local public transport and the proposal, put forward by the Piedmont Mobility Agency (Agenzia della Mobilità Piemontese, AMP), to standardise urban and conurbation fares with regional extra-urban fares [1].
Content of the motion
With the approved document, the Council commits the municipal administration to request that this standardisation not be included in the tender, in order to avert possible increases in ticket prices and to protect the Bra conurbation. The motion also commits the administration to advocate with the Piedmont Region and the AMP for strengthening and optimising public transport towards services considered essential, in particular connections to the Verduno hospital and to local schools [1].
Other business of the sitting
At the same sitting the Council unanimously approves a second motion, put forward by the minority group leaders, on the persecution of Christians around the world, with the Municipality of Bra joining the "Red Week" ("Settimana Rossa") campaign promoted by Aid to the Church in Need, running from 14 to 22 November 2026 [1]. The assembly also appoints Marina Isu and Giuliana Mossino as Council representatives on the Municipal Equal Opportunities Board (Consulta Comunale per le Pari Opportunità), and surveyor Paolo Racca as a new member of the Municipal Building Commission [1]. Finally, with 11 votes in favour and 6 against, it approves the sixth amendment to the 2026/2028 Budget, which records a net spending requirement for 2026 of 789,635.23 euros [1].
