I’m Luca, and I was born in Milan, in year 2000
I do love public transport, especially the process of planning and managing a transit system.
My mother tongue is obviously Italian, but I speak a good German and a fairly decent English too. On top of that, I’m one of the few people which are still able to speak the “Milanese” dialect in my city.
I spend a lot of time in my hometown and region, Lombardia. I love it, but it’s a shame to see how bad managed the public transport system often is. I’m also very attached to the Insubria part of the region. The northern part of province Varese and the nort-eastern coast of Lake Maggiore, at the border with Switzerland, where I used to spend holidays since I was a child.
In the recent year, I spent a lot of time in Südtirol, which is an autonomous majority German speaking Region of Italy, former part of Austrian region Tirol, where I had the chance to work (obviously, in the public transport industry) and live in late 2021 and 2022, having an amazing experience in terms of good public transport.
I love the “German School” of doing public transport, and since I’m really close to Switzerland, I will often talk about ways to do good public transport with amazing examples from that amazing country.
I do also travel to Germany a lot, just to see some well-made public transport infrastructures (as well as cute villages and tiny towns). So, stay tuned for examples also from Germany.
So, in this blog, I will take some bad and good examples about how to do public transport, with some “special care” about my places.
I did not have decided yet, in which language should this blog be.
Maybe, some content will be in Italian, some in English, and some in German. Stay tuned to discover what will happen in my mind.
