Most busses are new, and their size depends of the number of frequent
users of the serviced area. Their punctuality is rather questionable
but all peak hours are covered with the necessary number of runs.

single ticket costs 0,77 cent and is valid for one hour. A monthly
ticket costs 30 Euros. Tickets are available from newstands, bars,

DRIVING
IN ITALY
If you have a valid European licence you may drive for up to one
year after establishing residency in Italy. Thereafter you must
convert your licence to an Italian one. If you have a non European
licence, this is not valid to drive in Italy, you must obtain an
International Licence. An International licence is valid for up
to one year after establishing residency.
Please
note |
When
driving in Italy you must have your driver’s
licence with you at all times. Driving
without a valid licence is a felony; should
anyone be involved in a serious accident
and does not possess a valid licence,
they risk imprisonment. |

|
After
one year has passed, you are required to obtain an Italian licence.
Some non-EU countries have a bilateral agreement whereby a licence
can be converted into an Italian one; others do not. If there is
no bilateral agreement then you are required to go to driver’s
school and pass the Italian exam. Translators are available for
the lessons but the exam has to be taken in Italian.
