Just realized the $22 airport train in Rome beats the $55 taxi and nobody in my hostel knew about it
I was in Rome two weeks ago and watched six people in my hostel split a taxi to Termini for around $55 each way when the Leonardo Express runs every 15 minutes for about $15. The kicker is the train drops you right at the station in 32 minutes while the taxi sat in traffic for almost an hour. I only knew because a barista at the cafe near my hostel mentioned it after I asked about getting to the airport. What tourist trap transit mistakes do you keep seeing people fall for?
Six people splitting a cab and still paying more than the train is peak group think. Next you'll tell me they queued for an hour at a restaurant a local could've pointed them away from in ten seconds.
