Check whether your employer or university offers transport-ticket concessions.

Frequently asked questions

Does Monthly public transport pass in Bologna always cost EUR 39?

No. EUR 39 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 39 is the cost of the impersonal urban monthly pass published by TPER in Bologna. To compare it with single tickets we worked out the average cost per ride: the pass pays off if you make at least 2-3 trips on each working day. Suburban extensions and social fares are excluded.

Why this confidence level
