AVM/Actv is the main public transport provider for the urban area of Venice and the suburban area up to Padua, Treviso and Rovigo. Considering the extent of the area served, there are many travel solutions available at various prices.

Those outlined in the sections that follow are the main tariffs.  For further information and specific solutions, please contact the DIME call center on +39 041 041, open from 08:00 am to 6:00 pm every day.
Tickets and passes are loaded on two types of electronic media:
•    prepaid: Venezia Unica card for passes and tickets
•    non prepaid: for tickets only
Ordinary and "Rete Unica” travel tickets are valid in the urban area of the Municipality of Venice.  These tickets allow you to travel within the urban tramway network, the mainland road network of the City of Venice (including the People Mover) and Lido and Pellestrina, as well as within the urban waterborne network of the historical lagoon center up to Chioggia - Treporti and Punta Sabbioni (excluded).

Two different types of travel tickets with different prices are available for the waterborne services:

•    ordinary one-off tickets for occasional passengers;
•    tickets and passes for Venezia Unica card holders enabled for waterborne services; activation of this service allows you to take advantage of the "Carta Venezia" rate.
•    Ordinary one-off tickets for occasional passengers as well as some urban and suburban bus fares that can be added to the “electronic ticket”.

Tickets for regular passengers are available for holders of a Venezia Unica card enabled as a "Carta Venezia".

Both types of tickets can also be purchased from the AVM Venezia Official App: in this case the passenger’s mobile device replaces the Venezia Unica card or the "electronic ticket".

For access to the AVM/Actv transport service, pursuant to art. 37 of Regional Law n° 25 of 30 October 1998 and amendments, passengers must have a valid ticket or pass based on the current public pricing for the journey. The travel time is understood as starting when the passenger boards the vehicle and ends when the passenger alights. Holders of a travel-time-related ticket must end their travels within the time band period of their ticket, remembering that the time starts from the first validation. 

The ticket must be validated at the beginning of each journey and at each vehicle change using the readers present at the waterbus stop of the waterborne services, on board buses and trams and at the People Mover accesses.

SANCTIONS

A passenger found to be without a ticket, the ticket has not been validated or it is being used irregularly will be liable to pay a standard fare plus a penalty, as provided for by Regional Law n° 25/1998 and amendments (for more information consult the General Transport Conditions  published on this site).
