  • Better buy your tickets for the bus or subway in advance at a newspaper-shop.

    Plenty of the machines in the stations are out of order, or require the exact amount of cents, or work only with certain coins, or give out only 5 tickets...

    And if you are lucky, there might be an attendant, not speaking any language than italian, and he will explain the situation, but will certainly NOT sell any tickets to you...

     Sounds like getting a ticket for public transportation is almost more trouble than it's worth. I guess a traveler must just walk their way through rome. Nice reading about your page again.
