How it works
If you opt for the 1-day ticket, the ticket will be valid for one calendar day from the time you validate it, i.e. from the start time of the service until closing time. However, if you choose the 24, 48 or 72 hour ticket, the validity will depend on the time you validate the ticket. For example, if you start using the 48-hour ticket on a Monday at 1pm, it would be valid until Wednesday at 1pm.
During this time you can get on and off the different buses as many times as you like. For example, when you arrive at the Colosseum you can get off to visit it and then take another bus to continue the journey to the Vatican.
