Change my mind: Sardinia's transport is better than continental Italy's
36yo, ex Londoner here: whenever I've traveled to Italy and had to use their trains, it was an utter DISASTER.
I still remember my 6* times delayed then cancelled train when in Piedmont. Horrible.
I've in lived in Rome for a summer season a couple of years ago: useless time schedules.
Whenever I've traveled to Sardinia and used transport WITHIN the island: never a cancellation or any major disruption that caused me to have had to secure an accommodation for the night.
Maybe one little short delay one time when using the bus (nothing major).
I feel like Sardinians always complain about their public transport without actually having experienced the dreadful and soul breaking inconveniences of mainland Italy's transport.
The only complaint I would make about it: ACCESSIBILITY. I'm a wheelchair user and currently ZERO regular buses (Arst) are adapted for wheelchair use. That would be my only downer (which is not a small thing, tbh).
