TURIN: AN EXAMPLE OF TK’S USERS ACTION

Posted by : admin
Filed under : ACTIONS, NEWS

What’s going on in Torino? One month ago, in the city where the TK Community was born, the young local TK Meetup created a free service of pubblic transport called FREE BUS. It was just a way to show and prove the inefficiency of pubblic transport during night hours in the weekends. How can a city of one million people like Torino still not have a nocturnal bus service? Expecially during the weeking.
It was an amazing experience that showed that we can make a change in our cities by actively connecting people who share the same opinions and are aware of the same problems. If you feel the need to change things you can’t stand anymore, if you want to start an urban revolution in your city, the TRAFFIC KILLS “your city’s name” MEETUP is the way to go.
Click here to create or subscribe a Meetup.

Il FREE BUS tornerà a Torino nella notte di Sabato 10 Maggio dalle 22.30 alle 05.30 della mattina di domenica grazie al lavoro e la passione di alcuni membri del Traffic Kills Torino Meetup ( iscriviti)..
Cos’è? Un servizio di mobilità collettiva creato da cittadini per i cittadini. 3 bus attraverseranno la città connettendo i principali punti del nighclubbing torinese, sopperendo in parte alla mancanza del servizio pubblico urbano notturno, assente fra l’una e le cinque del mattino.
Come nasce l’iniziativa: la proposta si sviluppa in seguito alle richieste stesse degli utenti della Community nella città di Torino.
Prospettie future: il progetto del FREE BUS non vuole essere un episodio sporadico. Questi primi passi sono le prove per testare un servizio che vuole diventare continuativo durante i fine settimana.
Chi rende possibile l’iniziativa? Il contributo degli sponsor (locali ed attività private locali), che si prendono cura del proprio pubblico e regalano un servizio sicuro di mobilità.
Partecipa: chi volesse prendere parte attivamente all’iniziativa del FREE BUS può contattare il responsabile del progetto alla mail freebustorino@traffickills.com

E’ davvero piacevole trovare riscontro e attesa per l’iniziativa.
Rispondendo alle vs domande:
- il progetto viene finanziato dalle sponsorizzazioni private.
- è un Club to Club allungato? Il concetto base sul quale il progetto si basa è in effetti
quello. E’ però basilarmente UN SERVIZIO SICURO DI MOBILITA’COLLETTIVA GRATUITA NOTTURNA.
Ovvero, il nightclubbing è quello che permette che un progetto di questo tipo in una fase di test possa esistere.
Possiamo pertanto dire che il servizio è offerto grazie al contributo di quei locali e attività commerciali che hanno preso a cuore la mentalità che sottende all’iniziativa, abbracciando la proposta di Traffic Kills.
