Ferry ticket machines
For the ferry service on the Candiano canal between Marina di Ravenna and Porto Corsini, dedicated ticket machines are available near the boarding points.
Ferry ticket machines are located at the boarding points in Porto Corsini and Marina di Ravenna and allow the purchase of tickets for pedestrians and cyclists, for immediate use.
They accept both coins and banknotes and provide change.
Onboard ticket machines (Rimini area)
On some buses with higher tourist demand in the Rimini area, an onboard ticket machine is installed, allowing you to buy a ticket directly on the vehicle.
The onboard ticket machine allows payment with coins, debit cards and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro).
The bus ticket issued by onboard machines is paper and shows:
- the fare from 1 to 5 zones (with surcharge);
- date and time of issue;
- the bus ID number.
The ticket does not need validation. Please note that buying onboard includes a surcharge and the machine does not give change.
You can also buy Metromare 75 minutes or Metromare 24 hours tickets without surcharge.
These Metromare tickets are valid for the entire Rimini–Riccione route, within Rimini’s urban area and in the Riccione/Misano area (zones no. 900, 910, 951, 952, 953, 954, 961, 963, 966).
