BIRG vs BTI

[nsync]

Hi! I am staying in Rome for 3 extra days after my cruise. I was going to buy a BIRG ticket to get from the port in Civitavecchia to Rome, but then I noticed that a BTI ticket was only two more euros for 2 extra days. Does anyone know if the only difference is the number of days that I can use the ticket? Will I still be able to use all of the same modes of transportation? Thank you.

You're mixing apples and oranges, sort of.

 

The BIRG is a regional ticket while the BTI is a city of Rome ticket.

 

If you will be staying in Rome, you don't need to pay for a regional ticket other than for your trip there from Civitavecchia.

 

Therefore, for day one, your travel day, you can either purchase a 5-zone BIRG for 9 Euro, or purchase a one way train ticket for 4,10 Euro and a one day Rome BIG for 4 Euro. For days two and three you can purchase two more BIG tickets for a total of 16,10.

 

Alternatively, you could go with the regional train ticket and the three day BTI (11 Euro) for a total of 15,10.

 

Please know that none of these tickets are good for travel to the airport, it is specifically restricted from any of the regional travel passes.
