Traveler
I have been reading about train travel in Italy. Did you need to “verify” your tickets after purchase once at the station?
Traveler I had to verify - or validate - on the public bus in Florence using a simple time-clock like machine. On the high speed train between cities, on line purchased tickets are already verified. Conductor comes around and checks us in using QR code on phone. Train travel is so easy and humane compared to air travel. So much less stressful. So sad the US has not invested in train infrastructure - it is such a good way to get around.
