La liberalizzazione del trasporto pubblico locale in Italia fra incertezze delle regole e diritto europeo

Since the 1997 reform, the local public transport sector has been a paradigmatic case of the relationship between competition and management models, as part of the more general problem of regulating services of general economic interest pertaining to local authorities. The paper examines the uncertain legal framework in which the liberalization of local public transport services has occurred, in light of the general principles established by European law and also, most recently, of the prospects of the reform of local public services provided by Law no. 124 of 2015.
