Milan's Quick Fix for Bad Smog: Cheap Public Transportation
During its current stretch of terrible pollution, a single fare gets you a full day of unlimited travel.
Fans of cheap public transit could do worse than head for Milan this month.
Between December 17 and 24, Northern Italy’s largest city is offering bus, tram, and metro travel at a bargain rate. Buy a single fare for €1.50 ($1.65) and you get unlimited travel anywhere in the city for 24 hours. A similar move was brought in last week by Milan’s near neighbor Turin, which introduced two days of free transit last Thursday and Friday.
