Is there a return ticket for the bus?
'Ritorno' — 'ri-TOR-no'. Stress on second syllable.
Ask when you plan to make a round trip on the bus the same day and want to buy both legs at once, potentially at a discount.
'Andata e ritorno' means 'there and back' (outward and return). For urban buses this concept is unusual — time-limited tickets cover both directions within the validity window. It is more relevant for regional bus services.

Urban bus systems in Italy do not typically offer return tickets. The philosophy is time-based: buy a ticket valid for 90 minutes and you can change direction as many times as you like within that window.
