"Stuck" in Olbia for five hours because the train to Cagliari had left more than an hour earlier and the next one didn't have bicycle carriages.
Odyssey for some cyclists returning from a trip from Geneva to Genoa.
«We boarded the Genoa-Olbia ferry which docked at 9:00 in the port – says one of them, Wladimiro Scalas -. We headed to the Olbia train station where unfortunately we discovered that the train to Cagliari (direct) had left at 7:50, in perfect asynchronism with the naval transport. Among other things, there is no shuttle to transport people from the port to the train station. A disaster".
«On the tracks – he continues – there was another train bound for Cagliari (with a change at Chilivani) departing at 9:47 but it was not equipped with carriages for transporting bikes. Now we are forced to wait for the 2 pm train with the hope that there will be the possibility to load our bicycles. Among other things, Trenitalia (absurdly) allows the purchase of tickets plus bikes without guaranteeing the transport of the same».
"In a period - he concludes - in which there is a growing development of sustainable tourism, with the current situation of transport there is the risk of losing an important opportunity for economic development".
