Renato Mazzoncini said that the tram lines have the potential to make Brescia “a model of collective, integrated and sustainable mobility.”

He added (Translated from Italian): “The proposal to realise the Pendolina-Centro-Fiera-Valcamonica-Centro-Bornata tramway, underlines the need to promote and develop new investments in Italy to build infrastructures in urban centres.”
