Municipal income-tax surcharge

In the rates published by the Department of Finance for 2025, Ferrara applies a flat municipal IRPEF surcharge of 0.8% (resolution no. 15 of 24 February 2025).

Annual pass

In the Ferrara area the TPER annual pass gives unlimited travel for 12 months, every day, on buses, coaches and the trains of the Ferrara-Codigoro and Suzzara-Ferrara lines, within the urban area or the zones chosen. Extra-urban passes that include Ferrara are also valid in the urban area; with the MiMuovo card, integration is already included in rail passes to or from Ferrara. If a family member already holds an annual pass, youth annual passes bought afterwards are discounted. Renewal is online or at ticket offices.
