Integrated public transport tickets in Naples and Campania are changing price, while one important exception will protect many commuters: fares for company tickets on EAV services are staying the same.

According to Il Mattino, the UnicoCampania consortium will update the prices of integrated hourly and daily tickets from 1 October. The same report confirms that EAV company travel-title fares will remain unchanged for both railway and bus services.

In practice, that means the fare change affects UnicoCampania integrated tickets, not customers travelling on EAV company tickets for EAV rail and road services.

What is changing and what is not

The distinction reported is between two types of travel titles:

  • Integrated UnicoCampania hourly and daily tickets: prices change from 1 October.
  • EAV company fares: prices remain unchanged for railway and bus services.

The unchanged EAV prices apply to customers using EAV services. No new prices for the integrated hourly and daily tickets were listed in the reporting available, and no detailed list of the unchanged EAV company fares was provided.

Travellers should therefore check which type of ticket they normally buy before assuming the change applies to them. If you use an integrated UnicoCampania ticket, the October update is relevant to you. If you use an EAV company ticket for EAV services, your fare remains unchanged.

How to check your fare before you travel

Because Campania fares depend on route and ticket type, the applicable fare cannot be determined without origin, destination and travel conditions.

UnicoCampania provides an official route-based tool for checking applicable fares. Travellers can use the tariff search on the official UnicoCampania site to enter their journey and see the relevant integrated fare, along with links to the tariff regulation and tariff scheme.

The official site also distinguishes integrated UnicoCampania fares from EAV-specific information. For EAV-specific documentation and fare details, users are directed to contact EAV directly.

What to do next

  • Check whether your ticket is an integrated UnicoCampania hourly or daily ticket or an EAV company ticket.
  • Use the official UnicoCampania route-based tariff search for integrated fares.
  • Contact EAV directly for confirmation about EAV company rail and bus fares.
  • If you travel around 1 October, verify your usual ticket in advance, since the integrated ticket change takes effect from that date.
