It hasn’t been easy but it is a useful service for the community. Students, workers, commuters, travellers:
each of them has been carried to the right place in the right time. Our job is to connect people."
Dott. Gaspare Marino
1948
Autoservizi Salemi was founded in 1948 thanks to the intuition of Antonino Marino, a Salemi native, who saw the need to restart after the Second World War. The company begins to operate with a single second-hand bus, which covers the Salemi – Vita – Alcamo – Partinico – Palermo route and vice versa. However, in 1949, the concession was extended to Marsala, and Autoservizi Salemi immediately bought a second bus and later a third during the same year.
1960
In the 1950s and 1960s, the company expanded its connections to Petrosino and Mazara del Vallo, and the parking lot was constantly increased with new Gran Turismo buses. In 1955, Antonino Marino was awarded by the Chamber of Commerce of Trapani with a diploma with a medal of merit for his entrepreneurial activity.
1970
In the early 1970s, the motorway A29 Mazara del Vallo – Palermo, together with the Trapani – Palermo branch, constituted a notable impulse for greater mobility, which led to a further growth of Autoservizi Salemi. The administrative headquarters were definitively transferred to Marsala in 1971.
1985
After the death of the cav. Antonino Marino in 1985, the leadership of the company passed to his son Gaspare, a manager of considerable ability and foresight, who brought the company to a National dimension. Local Public Transport services increased in number and frequency of daily trips, and in 1999 Autoservizi Salemi made the first long-distance trip, covering a direct international route from Sicily to Germany.
2001
In 2001 the first Interregional Service was born, the route Marsala – Mazara del Vallo – Sciacca – Rome , followed by new routes between Sicily and Turin, Milan, Naples, and along the Adriatic route up to the Veneto. Today, Autoservizi Salemi is a solid medium-sized company, with three business branches, a very modern bus fleet and highly professional and experienced administrative, technical and traveling staff. The management of doctor Gaspare Marino, President since 2009, has transformed the courage and intuition of his father into a structured and meticulously organized company.
