Don't make this mistake in Rome. This will help you avoid getting lost on the bus.

Public transport rules vary from country to country. You've probably discovered on more than one occasion while traveling that choosing a ticket on public transport isn't as easy as it usually is.

The Polish Embassy in Rome reminds tourists traveling to the Eternal City of this. First, always board vehicles with a paper ticket, a contactless payment card, or a ticket from the TicketAppy app. This is important because ticket machines are located primarily in metro stations, bus stations, and near many public buildings , but not on public transport.

Validating your ticket in Rome. This is how transfers work.

In addition, the rule 1 payment card = 1 ticket applies.

A single card encodes a ticket for one person. Tourists often don't realize this and risk fines.

“Remember that you cannot pay for someone else’s ticket with your contactless card or device if they are traveling with you,” reminds ATAC, the company providing public transport services in Rome.

A single ticket entitles you to 100 minutes of travel and transfers. If you're using the tap&go system, remember to tap your card or contactless payment device each time you change modes of transport. On buses, trams, and trolleybuses, wait for the green light on the screen, and at metro stations, wait for the green light and the turnstile to unlock. Taps of your card or other device made within the ticket's validity period are treated as single transfers and do not incur an additional fee.

A ticket valid for 100 minutes costs €1.50, and a 24-hour ticket costs €8.50.

Parking in Rome. What does the color of the lines mean?

The Polish Embassy also reminds visitors of parking regulations. Please note the color of the lines:

• White - free parking
• Blue – you must pay (usually 1-2 euros per hour). You must enter your license plate number into the machine.
• Yellow – reserved for people with permission.
