In keeping with their tradition of creating confusion, the ITALIANS have taken away (it seems) the bonus of being able to travel on the Leonardo Express from Roma Fumicino airport into the centre of Rome.
In the original press release dated 17 September 2007, the Provincia de Roma were proud to state ""The flagship of provincial Card is the agreement with 'Leonardo Express' train connecting the airport in half an hour at Fiumicino with Termini station in Rome. Tourists will be able to travel free of charge on this train with the simple purchase of the package of 'Rome & More Pass'."
Now this move has come, it seems, after the airport taxi drivers were forced into accepting fixed rates for rides into Rome, and we believe that it was them who have had this "perk" taken away......
