We used the Airlink transport bus today to the train station. We went outside to find the bus stop. We found a sign for Airlink which stated the price and said you can pay on bus. We got on the bus. It idled until it was full then shut the doors. The doors then reopened and 7 policemen got on. The bus sets off and you get told no ticket 40 euro penalty. Half of the bus were caught out. It was a disgusting way to be welcomed into a country. If they have changed the system the signage should be changed. My first visit to Italy and it has put me off already.
