Transport Of Luggage, Bycicles And Animals
Travellers may carry on board the train or bus, free of charge, one piece of luggage not exceeding 10 kg in weight and with maximum dimensions of 75x50x25 cm. Any additional piece of luggage beyond the individual allowance, with a maximum of two pieces per traveller, is subject to the payment of a standard fare ticket. Luggage must be transported in the designated spaces where available, without causing disturbance or damage to other passengers, without obstructing the service activities of the staff, and without damaging the vehicle.

Specific provisions for the transportation of non-folding bicycles
- The bicycle can only be transported on designated trains.
- Transportation is allowed for one bicycle per passenger.
- Transportation is allowed, on equipped trains, within the limit of available spaces in the racks. To access these trains with a bicycle, only the door marked with a bicycle pictogram must be used.

In this case, access to trains must be through the door marked with the appropriate disabled pictogram.

- Children under the age of 12 may board trains with a bicycle only if accompanied by an adult.
- Passengers wishing to travel with a bicycle must go to the Train Manager to receive instructions regarding the door to use for loading operations and to regularise the transportation of the bicycle; if the Train Manager, due to unavailability of spaces, does not authorise the transportation of the bicycle, passengers may store the bicycle in the appropriate racks present at stations and stops or wait for the next train equipped for bicycle transportation.
- During transportation, leaving objects or luggage on bicycles or in the spaces designated for their transportation is not permitted.
- Bicycles must also be stored in such a way so as not to obstruct or disturb the exit/entry of passengers and/or operating personnel.

- In case of emergency or in case of evacuation of trains, bicycles must be left on board or, if exiting from stations, in an appropriate place so as not to obstruct other passengers. If recoverable, they will be returned to their owners upon presentation of travel tickets and an identification document.
At the Airport Stop, it is forbidden to board or alight from trains with non-foldable bicycles. (THIS CHANGED WITH THE SERVICE CHARTER UPDATE 2023 OF JUNE 27, 2023).
Violations related to safety and functionality established by DPR 753/80 are subject to administrative sanctions established by the same DPR.
