Tip #2

at most bus stops, you have to buy the ticket from a tabaccheria, however, no one usually checks for tickets as you get on the bus. so you could technically ride for free - although at the risk of a 40 euro fine if caught without a ticket. it really only costs a euro and change, no big deal, but just act like a stupid tourist that doesn't know any better and could possibly get away with it! not that we will take advantage of that or have already. i'm just saying...
