Employees at the site of Riva Trigoso, near the town of Sestri Levante in the Liguria region, are being bussed directly to the gates of the shipyard from the railway station with no intermediate stops, said Sestri Levante mayor Valentina Ghio.

The site employs 1,000 people but only a fifth have returned to work so far. A Fincantieri spokeswoman said similar buses would ferry workers to its shipyard in Marghera, near Venice. At Fiat Chrysler plants in the Abruzzo and Basilicata regions, where dedicated buses are routinely used by workers, unions have asked local authorities to increase their frequency in preparation for a partial reopening.
