Italian night shuttle safety initiatives

Entities: Calabria · Comune di Squillace · Soverato · Natascia Mellace

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 the Veneto region revived its "DiscoBus" night shuttle service, extending it to three additional towns to provide safe transport for late‑night revelers. Two weeks later, the municipality of Squillace in Calabria launched a free night bus pilot, "Estate in Sicurezza 2026", targeting young clubbers traveling to and from the popular Soverato nightlife area. Both programmes aim to curb drunk‑driving incidents by offering cost‑free, scheduled rides during peak weekend evenings. The snapshots illustrate a broader trend of Italian local authorities adopting or expanding night‑shuttle services as a public‑health measure to reduce alcohol‑related road accidents.
