IMPORTANT, PLEASE MIND: The Italian Decree Law n° 50 of 17th May 2022 (and its Conversion into Law n° 91 of 15th July 2022) allocated resources to create a fund aimed at distributing vouchers to purchase annual tickets for local, regional and interregional public transport services or national rail services until 31st December 2022. The value of the voucher may not exceed the amount of 60€. The voucher will be distributed to individuals whose 2021 total income does not exceed 35,000€.
