The Vaporetto multi-day ticket has proven to be ideal for getting around. In addition, it should only be indicated at the appropriate point that the ticket is valid for the selected period of 48 / 72 / ... hours.

At the moment, it makes no difference whether I buy the ticket online or from a ticket machine. Either way, I have to print out the ticket at the machine. Buying online is therefore not worthwhile! Couldn't the ticket be sent to my cell phone?
