Rail-connected airports have become common on the European continent.<\/p>\n

The ability to walk directly from your terminal to a waiting train that takes you directly to your destination is a very civilized way to travel.<\/p>\n

In recent months I\u2019ve learned the intricacies of navigating Trenitalia\u2019s automated ticket machines.<\/p>\n

While these have an English language option, to buy a ticket typically requires more than a dozen steps, including \u2018continuing\u2019 through various warnings that advise you about pickpockets, unauthorized persons supplying information, and reminders to validate your tickets (you\u2019ve been warned!).<\/p>\n

So last week (September 2017) when Honer Travers and I arrived at Rome\u2019s Fiumicino Airport, we were well armed with the knowledge to obtain the correct tickets. We rapidly paged through the automated machine and without difficulties had tickets in hand in just minutes.<\/p>\n

We boarded our double-deck local train and were on our way to Roma Travestere.<\/p>\n

Buying local transit tickets the next morning wasn\u2019t as painless, as the automated machines we found did not seem to work as intended.<\/p>\n
