SVT

What SVT does

SVT (Società Vicentina Trasporti a responsabilità limitata, operating as S.V.T. Srl) is a privately-held Italian local public transportation company headquartered at Viale Milano 78 in Vicenza, with stated headcount of 501-1,000 employees. The company operates urban, suburban, and extra-urban bus routes across the Vicenza province in the Veneto region, serving the municipalities of Vicenza, Bassano del Grappa, Valdagno, and Recoaro Terme. Its end customers are primarily individual commuters — daily urban travelers, students, workers, over-70 residents, disabled passengers, pregnant women, and mothers with infants — with pricing tiered per city and passenger category. The company's stated role is to provide accessible, affordable local public transport (Trasporto Pubblico Locale) under concession-style contracts in its service territory.

The company's product surface consists of two proprietary mobile applications (SVT Vicenza for ticket purchase, route planning, subscription and virtual travel card management; and SVT ChiamaBus for evening on-demand booking) plus the PeriMetrò on-demand service covering the metropolitan perimeter of Vicenza and a central hub at the CentroBus station on Viale Milano. The SVT ChiamaBus service is delivered through a partnership with Via Transportation, which provides the SaaS platform, and physically operated by subcontractor Bristol Autoservizi Srl of Valdagno. Distribution combines digital channels (app, MooneyGo integration, website) with a substantial physical footprint of approximately 310 authorized resellers — agencies (with and without card issuance), recharge points, and retail outlets — plus physical ticket offices and on-board purchases (the latter carrying a price premium). Revenue is generated via unit-priced single tickets (€1.50-€1.70) and tiered subscription passes (weekly, monthly, annual), with category-specific discounts for students, workers, and seniors and free travel for eligible pregnant women and mothers.

Operationally, the company is integrated into Italian regulatory frameworks: it holds ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental), and ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety) certifications from CISQ/Accredia; maintains the mandatory three-year Anti-Corruption and Transparency Plan under L. 190/2012 and D.Lgs 33/2013; operates an EthicPoint external whistleblowing channel under D.Lgs. 24/2023; and uses an external DPO (IPSLab srl). The current Direttore generale and RPCT is Ing. Franco Ettore Viola, appointed September 1, 2021. The company is privately held as an Italian Srl with no disclosed parent company, investors, M&A, or external funding rounds; its revenue, financials, and fleet size are not publicly disclosed. A March 29-30, 2025 cyber attack on third-party supplier myCicero (which powers the SVT app and web portal) required ongoing user-data communications through January 2026.
