  • Directions for travelling

    To travel, follow these simple directions: 

    1. Hold your credit/debit card near the 'TAP&TAP' validating unit before departure and wait for the audible signal, the green light and the message 'TAP REGISTERED CORRECTLY' on the display.

    2. Get on board the train.

    3. At the arrival station, hold the same credit/debit card3 near the 'TAP&TAP' validating unit to confirm the end of the journey and finalise the purchase of the ticket.

    4. Click here to retrieve your travel information.

    5. If you need support from an operator, you can contact the number 06-3000 (option 6). For the number 06 3000, the applicable rate is the urban or interurban rate defined by the customer's telephone service provider.

  • Are you a frequent traveller and want to benefit from the 'best fare'?

    Register your credit/debit card under the 'TAP&TAP' profile in your Trenitalia reserved area, use it to TAP every time you travel on a regional train and, once the sum of single fares for the same route reaches the weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly fare threshold, you will be able to make the remaining single journeys on the same route without further charges during the reference period (week, month, quarter or year).

    Remember that you have to TAP both at the departure and arrival station, even if you have reached the 'best fare'.

    Moreover, by registering your card, you can:

    • check the status of the TAPs carried out in real time;
    • view charges and check travel costs;
    • facilitate any assistance from call centre operators in using the 'TAP&TAP' system.
