Italian term or phrase: mediata
Inoltre ci viene mediata una ditta di trasporto per i nostri brevi spostamenti sul territorio che ci chiede per due trasferte per Montefalco (6 Km ) e per Bevagna ( 13 Km ) ben € 600,00 e che ancora più sgradevolmente allunga visibilmente i tragitti per giustificare la richiesta ingiustificata ed esosa.

Explanation:
A transport company was recommended to us for our short trips.

It sounds more English when it's been "jiggled about".

Example sentence(s):
  • Khahiki was recommended to us and we were NOT disappointed!
  • This was recommended to us for the childcare facilities onboard as it was our first holiday away as a family after the birth of our son.
