Frequently asked questions

Does Public transport ticket in Bologna always cost EUR 2.30?

No. EUR 2.30 is the ordinary or most quotable figure within the source's scope. Exemptions, concessions, ticket duration or outside services can move the cost.

Why not use a broader average?

Because an average that mixes cities, channels or user profiles looks precise but does not help anyone pay the right price. We publish the verified price list and state where it does not apply.

When should this price be checked again?

The next review is scheduled for 2026-10-23. Public and operator prices can change through resolutions or price-list updates, so they should not be treated as permanent.

Sources and methodology

How we worked it out

The EUR 2.30 price is for the urban ticket valid for 75 minutes published by TPER in Bologna. Because the ticket has limited time validity, the real monthly cost depends on how many trips you take, so we treat the price as fixed per journey. Resident or student discounts are excluded because they require specific tickets.

Why this confidence level

Confidence is High because the figure comes from the official operator with authority level 4/5. The less certain part is not the number itself, but how a reader uses it: exemptions, concessions and private channels can change the final bill.
