Ticket choices

• App purchase: cleanest if your phone battery is healthy.
• Machine purchase: best backup when mobile data is shaky.
• Counter: useful for edge cases and questions.

If your train is soon, buy first, orient second.

Platform mindset

Think in phases:

1. Locate board
2. Confirm train code + time
3. Move to platform decisively
4. Board before crowd wave

Luggage ergonomics

Use this tiny equation for effort:

$$ ext{Stress} = ext{Crowd Density} imes ext{Luggage Bulk} imes ext{Uncertainty} $$

Reduce uncertainty, and the whole trip feels lighter.

At Termini: first 10 minutes

• Exit with purpose; avoid drifting into retail corridors.
• Switch immediately to metro/taxi/walk based on your neighborhood.
• If you need a break, pause after you clear decision points.

Bottom line

Leonardo Express is not just fast; it is predictable. Predictability is worth a lot on day one.
