Delays on Italy's railway network cost the country more than 3.16 billion euros each year. An analysis undertaken by the Unimpresa Study Center emphasizes how this phenomenon penalizes, in particular, Italian enterprises and the Italian production fabric, affecting crucial sectors such as transportation, tourism, and services. The cost is substantial for both passengers and freight: the average delays of high-speed trains, which are equivalent to 30 minutes per journey, have a substantial impact on productivity. On a daily basis, approximately 800,000 individuals use high-speed trains, and the estimated annual cost of lost time is 1.8 billion euros, with an average loss of 15 euros per hour of delay. Goods transport, which accounts for 13% of Italian rail traffic, experiences average delays of two hours per train, resulting in logistical inefficiencies and contractual penalties of more than 912 million euros annually. This figure mostly penalizes the agri-food and industry supply chains, which rely on punctuality to ensure delivery reliability, particularly to overseas markets. The railway network's difficulties are also affecting the tourism industry, which is a foundation of the Italian economy. Approximately 20% of tourists use the train to travel in the country, and delays diminish the likelihood of travel and the average stay. The annual loss is estimated to be approximately 450 million euros, which is equivalent to 3% of the turnover generated by rail mobility in the tourism industry. Service organizations, on the other hand, face a drop in production as a result of delays that disrupt appointments, meetings, and off-site activities. The alternative for numerous organizations is to opt for private vehicles, which incurs elevated operating expenses.
