Benevento urban transit and historic center debate

Overview

In Benevento, the reintroduction of bus services to Corso Garibaldi has sparked debate over the tension between commercial accessibility and the preservation of the city’s historic center. The Air Campania 16UB urban line has resumed transit from the Duomo toward the Prefecture, adding three new stops near via Gregorio VIII, Piazza Roma, and Santa Sofia.

While local administration aims to support businesses and facilitate access, the Benevento Domani association has criticized the move. Opponents argue that vehicle traffic in a UNESCO World Heritage buffer zone may conflict with sustainability goals and pedestrian-focused management. Concerns include the protection of historic paving, pedestrian safety, and whether smaller electric shuttles would be a more suitable alternative for the cultural site.
