A long procession at 30 kilometers per hour that also traveled via Rizzoli. In Bologna, the drivers of NCC cars have thus expressed their dissent on the day when the first penalties for those who exceed the new speed limits of the 'City 30' plan are triggered in the city. Among them there were also some taxi drivers who joined the event, the first in January: the organizers are planning another one at the end of the month also open to citizens and couriers.

"We moved now because we hoped that the mayor would be able to test the new limits in a portion of the city and then extend them to all roads, but this was not the case - explains Riccardo Busi, NCC driver, one of the organizers - We had to consult those who, with the car, work every day. So for us, now, it means we won't be able to work: we risk our driver's license, we won't be able to guarantee the same services as before."

Drivers also do not rule out having to adjust the rates upwards. "So working is very difficult, we are worried - adds a colleague, Davide Mangialardi, NCC driver - we could have thought earlier about fixing the roads, full of potholes, or making cycle paths with dedicated lanes. It's not easy to be on the streets like this."
