City buses in Modica: transport in the city with SAIS Autolinee

With a new impetus and a concrete commitment, Modica's urban public transport is ready to face the challenges of the future, under the banner of efficiency, accessibility and sustainability. Now, with a renewed city bus line.

‍Starting on 1 July 2024, urban public transport in Modica will have a new look: SAIS Autolinee, a company already active in the sector in Syracuse, Enna and Milazzo, will take over from the previous management with the aim of improving service to citizens. This change, promoted under the motto ‘Modica si Muove’,is part of a broader project to upgrade the city's bus mobility.

SAIS Autolinee buses: efficiency, innovation and accessibility

SAIS Autolinee will operate the urban service for the next two years, employing a fleet of 7 new-generation buses, all equipped with platforms to facilitate access for disabled passengers.

Among the innovations introduced for the new urban lines are:

• an infomobility app (active from 1 July on the summer line and subsequently extended to all others) that allows real-time monitoring of city bus timetables in Modica, their location in the city and the easy and secure purchase of electronic tickets.
• an artificial intelligence system (operating from 1 November 2024) that will provide personalised route recommendations and suggest places of interest to visit in the city.
