Frecciabianca - high-speed trains in Italy
Italy's railways are among the most modern in the world. Italians have some of the fastest high-speed railways (as do Japan and France), ahead of the Germans, among others.
Travelling on the Italian railways is a pleasant experience. The trains are safe, clean and punctual. The staff are friendly and helpful to foreigners (cashiers and conductors usually speak English). Timetables are presented in a clear and simple way. Intermediate stations are usually listed in addition to the destination station.
If a passenger finds it difficult to communicate with the station staff, it is worth using the ticket machines. They show the nearest departures to a particular station, ticket prices and travel times. Ticket machines have a choice of four languages: Italian, English, French and German. Breakdowns of these machines are very rare. If they do occur, the machine prints out a special ticket, with which you must go to the ticket office to get the correct ticket.
The types of high-speed rail are Frecciarossa, Frecciabianca and Frecciargento.
