This creates "financial leeway to strengthen the daily service and offer alternatives that are more frequent, accessible, and reliable," according to the regional government. With the expiration of the contract, around 4.85 million euros will be freed up over the following three years.

This will create "new opportunities for commercially viable long-distance connections that can be operated without public subsidies," it was stated.
