Tickets bought on line don't need to be validated. If you have a valid ticket and you get an excess charge from an overenthusiastic ticket inspector, refuse to pay it. They will then issue you with vast amounts of paper stating that you owe them X amount and that it will double if you don't pay within so many days. You can ignore this. It's not a fine, it's a commercial charge. In theory they could sue you for it, but your defence would be that you paid your fare, you were not made aware of the conditions and you did not agree to them. That contravenes EU rules on treating customers fairly. They know this and won't pursue it. Locals never pay which is why inspectors target tourists.
Another great video guys, just one question , If I book with Omio and the first leg is by bus and then 2 legs by train , when do I check-in ? Do I need to check-in on every leg ?
I like the way u are updating us on ur train transportation
Thank you 🙏
More great advice. We have helped so many people with this issue.
Thank you Jeffrey 🙏
Thank you for this. I know it doesn't seem like something confusing, I worry about remembering to do it!!
If you use Omio it will remind you to check in
@@TravelAddictsLife I have put that in my notes. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. I am travelling with Italo with tickets booked online. Do I need to validate? thanks!

Hello guys, great video as usual. You mention validation of train tickets for TrenItalia. I assume it’s the same for the Italo trains ? Thank you
Thank you 🙏 Italo only runs high speed trains with assigned seats
Thank you for this great videos
Thank you 🙏🏻
Any suggestions for purchasing Lake Como tickets for the first week of October before the trip? Will it still be hectic at the train stations?
It is not easy to predict if the station will be busy or not, usually they are pretty busy.
Thank you for the info ! Is there a train from Milan to Lake como or the only way to get there is by bus ?
Bermina express where does it starts ?
There is a train from Milan to Como city. The Bernina Express starts in Tirano
@@TravelAddictsLife thana you

Usually yes you have to check in for every leg, but the app will tell you
