Religious tourism in Rome: transport discounts with pilgrim card

The Catholic Church is getting Rome organised with a new transport initiative for pilgrims.
The Rome transport association, ATAC, together with Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi, have agreed to create a Carta del Pellegrino, or Pilgrim’s Card, for the celebrations of the Paolino jubilee.

The card creates one ticket for all ATAC transport and the “Roma Cristiana” Open Bus lines, which will be valid for one or three days.

This is only the first phase as it’s likely the program will also extend to other services including giuded tours, church visits and museums, including the local public transport system.

The card will be available in both ATAC sales points and Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi points.
The news comes from Adnmundo.
