    This was such an easy way to access Erice. The parking lot was right at the bottom of the cable car and was inexpensive. Much easier than driving up the mountain road.

    I have crossed the Messina from Sicilia side before, this was a reverse from the Calabria side. Bluferries dock further south of port of Messina which is more convenient if you are going to hit Catania or Siracusa.

    The process is pretty straight forward, once you reach the ferry dock, they will direct you to line up your vehicle. You then proceed to purchase the ticket at the office. I think you can buy the ticket online but better having good Italian reading skill.

    Catania metro system is very short. It has only 9 stations, one Cibali station is still under construction and from the first to the last station you need only 20-25 min. Metro does operate every day excluded Sunday or public holidays. Train run every 10 min from 8.30 a.m. until 3.00 p.m. and than every 15 min until the end of the service at 9.00 p.m. On Saturdays, service runs run until midnight. Ticket per 90 min costs 1 eur. Day ticket is 2 eur and may be purchased at ticket machine at every station (see picture). In the future thay want to extend metro to the airport. Metro stops are bright and clean. Enjoy driving like we did.

    Just like other comments explain it, we also got scammed.
    We wanted to take the bus to go from mondello to Palerme and asked the driver where we could buy tickets. He said there was no more tickets on the bus, but he said that we could still hop on the bus. So we trusted him
    When we arrived Palermo, 2 controllers that directly targeted us and asked us if we got any tickets. Then they asked us to leave the bus and we decided to explain to them the situation. They weren't listening to us and asked us to pay 53€ by cash. We understood at this point that it was a scam.

    Then, the same evening we came back to the same bus stop and asked to another bus driver how we could buy bus tickets to see if he would have the same answer as his colleague.
    He told us that there was no tickets on the bus but that we could buy tickets at a place that was at 10m by far (which the first driver didn't tell us).
    Please be careful to pay a real ticket whatever the driver says.

    I booked a trip from La Fortuna to Puntarenas on 15 January and paid $182 up front. The vehicle didn't arrive. I called and was promised a refund. I am still waiting despite numerous email communications... We ended up calling a Uber which cost $2 less!

    I definitely don't recommend it. I bought 12 all day tickets, payment was charged but the tickets never came to the app. I have a bank statement and an app statement, I have complained about the situation three times via email to two different addresses, no one bothered to even reply. Better to buy tickets at the outlets, not on the AMTS app. AMTS is a very untrustworthy company (besides the fact that buses never arrive on time and even skip an entire line.
