Thanks for the informative and helpful video. There seems to be a lot of confusion about which areas are covered by the CIS - (Carta Integrata Settimanale) weekly ticket. We are going to Rome a week today and our AirBNB has a Lazio postcode and we need the CIS ticket to cover as far as Gianicolense/Ravizza. I could find nothing online to confirm it does but when pressed our host said that it was. The transport zone system in online english is quite opaque and I was wondering if we needed a CIRS/BTR - (Biglietto Turistico Regionale) weekly ticket? I just hope our host is correct or our daily transport to and from our AirBNB to the Centro Storico will be much more difficult!

Thank you so much for the video! So helpful 🥰 Could you tell me what my options are if I’m arriving at Termini at midnight? I have a late flight landing at FCO in July and after Termini I’d like to know if there’s just uber/taxi to take me to my accomodation or Metro/bus works until late in the night.

Great video! Learning so much! Really appreciate all the information. Will be taking a cruise in a couple of weeks this will come in handy. Got a question if you're taking the train from Civitavecchia station. Would buying a BIRG ticket covers unlimited trips for one day to and from Civitavecchia to Rome and back and also included all metro rides? Or we need to buy a round trip BIRG tickets to cover that? Comparing to buying a standard round trip Trenitalia train tickets to Roma Termini, and then buy additional 24 Hour Metro ticket to get Rome City center?

Hi! Great Video! so simplified! I have a doubt, are the public transport buses same route as hop on hop off buses? Do the hopon hopoff buses give any more advantage over the public transport?

@FrolicAndCourage

Hi Srishti! The public busses are for everyday use, make more stops, are much cheaper (usually no more than $3/ride), and don’t run the same routes as hop on hop off busses. Hop on/off busses are specifically designed to stop at the major sights and are more expensive (around $45-60), but for one price you don’t have to worry about transfer fees or an extensive transport network.

Are we talking about just 100 hrs worth of ride or does the timer start as soon as you validate it even if you're in a transport? 2. I'm gonna be in rome for 3 days, which ticket do you recommend?

Hey girl! That makes me soooo happy to hear that you were able to save as much money as I did on transportation!! 😁 to answer your questions: 1) it’s 100mins (not hours, unfortunately) the timer starts when you first use/validate your ticket. 2) It depends! I’d go through your itinerary to determine when and where you plan to use public transport. If you plan to use public transportation a lot, look into the 72hr tourist pass. I mainly focused on getting around Rome so the tickets I mentioned are only valid for the Rome/Lazio region, but If you want to travel to different cities (Florence, Venice) look into TrenItalia tickets to get there and the individual cities public transport options.👍🏽

Pack tight, pack light, and always keep your hands and eyes on your luggage. It also helps to plan your route in advance and move quickly. If you get a weird feeling at any time, remove yourself from the area as quickly as possible. Most people mind their business, but always be alert ❤️

Hey Genevieve 👋🏽 I love that this video helped you 🥰 The metro requires you to validate the ticket in the turnstile. Once you pass the turnstile you are good to go - no validation needed while on the actual metro car (there are no validation points there). On the bus, you have to validate your ticket while on the bus on a ticket reader near the bus driver or entry door. People may be standing in the way, but they will move. If the machine doesn’t work, then write the date/time on the ticket to avoid fines. Otherwise, if the machine works and you just missed it or forgot and get caught, you’ll have to pay. Hope this helps! ❤️

You’re welcome ☺️ Yes, I did! I dedicated a whole video to Versailles (kzread.info/dash/bejne/fY1op6ekd5a6mto.html) and on Paris public transportation (kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXytpMVmeMjLepM.html) if you are interested. I took the train then walked to the palace ✅

Hi, I posted a question yesterday but I guess didn't get posted or got deleted. I was wondering if you have any feedback for me. we were in Rome earlier this year and on the last day, we purchased a 100 min ticket to get to our destination. unfortunately, we didn't know we have to scan our tickets and we got ticketed literally 30 minutes after purchasing. We tried to communicate with them and show the timing but they didn't even look at the tickets time and issued fines. Do you know if there is a chance to fight this or if we have to pay?

Hi Panteha, just seeing this post. Yikes, it sounds like they were vigilant in their enforcement efforts that day. All tickets must be validated and as you’ve seen, officers are not interested in hearing anything else besides the validation machine doesn’t work (in which case you have to write the date/time you entered, etc). There is a way to appeal the fine (visit www.atac.roma.it/en/utility/pay-your-fines) if you want to pursue it, but I’m not sure how successful people have been and I’ve heard your appeal must be written in Italian. I haven’t gone through the process, but if you want to pursue it please let us know how it turns out!

@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you! I guess we have to pay them. We don't know how to write in Italian. I don't think their approach is nice. hurts because we didn't even think of violating their system. They need to have at least a wave or grace system for the tourists. Thank you so much for replying back!

How much does it cost to get from the Civiteveccia port to Rome center via taxi?

@FrolicAndCourage

Hey Donna, it costs between €125 to €170 to get from Civiteveccia port to Rome via taxi. If cruising, you can also check to see if the cruise line offers a transfer as an excursion. 👍🏾😊

Can a 10 BIT ticket only be used on the day of purchase?

@FrolicAndCourage

Жыл бұрын

Hey Jac! The 10 BIT is for 10 single journeys and you do not have to use it on the same day of purchase. Once you validate the first ticket you have 100 minutes to use it. Once the time expires, your next ticket will not be active until YOU validate it - whether it’s the same day, the next day, next week, etc. Hope this helps! 🙏🏽 😊

How can I get from the Terimini to the cruise port?

@FrolicAndCourage

Жыл бұрын

Hey Thea- purchase a TrenItalia ticket at any one of the kiosks at Termini to Civitavecchia. There are only a handful of trains leaving everyday that may - or may not - align with the cruise schedule, so plan accordingly! From the cruise port take a bus for around €3 (cash only) to your cruise line 🚢

Anytime! You can to be extra safe and secure your spot, but there are so many seats on the train that I doubt it will be full. Just be mindful of the time and arrive early!
