With the monthly travelcard from Arcobaleno you can use public transport within the selected zones for a whole month without any travel and time restrictions.
The monthly travelcard is personal. It can be issued for adults (from 25 years) in 1st or 2nd class, as well as for young persons (from 6 to 25 years) in 2nd class, and is valid for the selected zones. From 6 zones, you can travel throughout Ticino and in the Moesano region at a flat-rate price.
Further information
