Go contactless!<\/p>\n

Simple, fast, and intuitive<\/p>\n

\n

On the vehicles dedicated to the extra-urban public transport service in Brescia operated by Arriva Italia, you can travel simply by using a contactless payment card.<\/p>\n

Just tap your contactless payment card on the green validator when boarding the bus, and remember to tap it again on a green validator when getting off.
You can use contactless cards or NFC-enabled devices. This way, the system will charge the correct fare.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong> In the initial phase, travel using contactless payment cards will only be available on Arriva Italia vehicles marked with a specific sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from Autumn 2025, it will be possible to make integrated journeys that include urban travel within the city of Brescia. Until then, tickets for traveling on the urban network of Brescia must be purchased using traditional methods.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How the system works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

To travel using your contactless VISA, Mastercard, or Maestro<\/strong> card \u2014 or an NFC-enabled device<\/strong> via Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Samsung Pay<\/strong> \u2014 simply hold it near the green validator on board and wait for the beep and confirmation message on the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to tap only one card<\/strong> and avoid placing backpacks or wallets against the validator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no bank transaction fees<\/strong> for the customer: the payment is processed at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>

REMEMBER!<\/strong>
You must tap your contactless payment card on the validator both when boarding and when getting off<\/strong> the bus. This allows the system to automatically calculate the correct fare based on the actual distance traveled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the same contactless card<\/strong>, up to 8 people<\/strong> can travel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
