If you live or travel in the Milan Metropolitan Area, you will certainly have appreciated Trenord’s services, which are at the service of citizens, commuters, and also tourists and adventurers who are in Milan for leisure or business.
Context and commuter challenges in Melegnano
Melegnano is an essential crossroads for commuting to Milan, and faces the dilemma of crowded trains and inadequate timetables, despite the introduction of new runs on Trenord’s S12 line. The area of South Milan and the South Milan metropolitan area is in fact a fundamental crossroads of national mobility, as, for example, the Melegnano motorway tollgate, Barriera Sud di Milano – Melegnano, represents one of the largest tollbooths nationwide. We would like to remind you that our four-star AN Hotel Melegnano is located just a two-minute drive from the Melegnano exit of the A1 Milan-Naples motorway, and that our hotel is equipped with Tesla fast-charging columns and comfortable rest areas, which will even allow you to take a break, stop for the night, and then leave again the following day, without necessarily having to make too onerous or tiring a trip. In short, our advice is to stay overnight and get a good night’s rest.
News on Trenord’s S12 line: Enhanced connections between Melegnano and Milan
With the entry into force of Trenord’s winter timetable, agreed with the Lombardy Region, there are many novelties on some regional and suburban lines, among which the enhancement of line S12 from Melegnano to Milano Bovisa stands out. The daily service will see a significant improvement with runs every 30 minutes, which at peak times will become even more frequent with runs every 15 minutes.
This important new feature represents a significant advantage for travellers staying at AN Hotel Melegnano, a facility strategically positioned to reach Milan. In particular, guests staying at AN Hotel Dépendance Milano Melegnano and AN Hotel Milano Melegnano will benefit from more frequent and faster connections to the city centre, with a journey time of just 15 minutes to reach the main stations of Milan’s Passante Ferroviario.
The upgraded service on the S12 line guarantees greater flexibility in travel, allowing both tourists and business travellers to better plan their commitments in the city. Stops along the route include important junctions such as Milano Rogoredo, Milano Porta Romana and all stations of the Passante, all the way to Milano Bovisa, offering numerous opportunities to interchange with other Milanese public transport lines.
For AN Hotels guests, this implementation of the train service represents an additional plus in their choice of accommodation, combining the comfort of the hotel with the efficiency of connections to Milan. The intensified frequency of services, especially during peak hours, makes the choice of staying in the Melegnano area even more convenient, while guaranteeing quick access to all areas of Milan.

Local and alternative mobility – Traffic and sustainable alternatives
Increasing traffic in Melegnano pushes commuters towards alternative modes of transport, such as bicycles, car pooling and private cars, not without challenges. By now, bike sharing services in the city and throughout the Milan metropolitan area are numerous: from the municipality’s public service, BikeMI, to other services of private companies offering traditional bicycles, electric bikes and electric scooters. Similarly, car pooling, car sharing and the various shuttle services are widespread and allow those who habitually move around the Milan metropolitan area, and also occasional travellers, whether for work or leisure, to move quickly, since Milan is the ‘fast’ Italian city par excellence and also the one in which the Value of Time is truly associated with that of Money.
Future initiatives and technologies
To improve the situation, technological innovations and service enhancement are being considered, through integrated mobility planning that takes into account the needs of commuters. This includes the initiative that will come to life on 9 June 2024, so that the innovation can go into full swing, during the month of September, i.e. with the return to school from holidays and the resumption of business activities after the holidays.
The role of institutions – Coordinated action for improvement
Trenord and the local authorities are at the centre of initiatives to better meet the needs of commuters, focusing on extending runs during critical periods and introducing vehicles with greater capacity. It seems that Trenord is taking on board the complaints and requests for improvement coming from the spontaneous committees of commuter travellers.
Future perspectives – Towards efficient and sustainable mobility
Innovation and sustainability drive the search for solutions that can effectively solve mobility problems in Melegnano, with an eye to international best practices. The Municipality of Melegnano has already made efforts in the past and also currently, by talking with Trenord and other public transport companies, to ensure that the citizens of the South Milan area are adequately protected when travelling for work or leisure.
Recommendations and strategies, for a ‘win-win’ key
It is essential to promote a collaborative approach, where technological innovation, citizen involvement and sustainable initiatives come together, to create a more resilient transport system adapted to today’s needs for improved air quality.
