General information about Public Transportation in Turin (GTT home page)
Turin has an efficient system of city connections with busses,
trams and a metropolitan line.
Tickets can be bought from the
automatic machines or in tobacconists, newsagents, coffee shops and
public places who exhibit the special sign: "GTT". Tickets
can be bought also at the Reception in Villa Gualino.
Tickets
can not be bought aboard of trams and busses.
There
is a GTT Information Office (where is also possible to buy tickets)
in Porta Nuova Railway Station.

for 70 minutes from when first punched (only punch the ticket once,
on the first vehicle boarded, on the side "Prima Convalida")
on metropolitan lines and on city rail links along GTT suburban
lines.
It is valid 70 minutes in the Turin urban area (excluding
tourist services) and it is possible to change bus or tram within
this time without limitations. It permits only 1 ride on the subway

By default, busses and trams stop
only upon request ("a richiesta").
