Choosing transfers is less about brand, more about fit.

Scenario scorecard

Scenario	Best Choice	Why
Solo, tight schedule	Leonardo Express	Predictable timing
Family, multiple bags	SIT/Terravision	Fewer stairs and easier load
Stay near Trastevere	FL1 train	Avoid backtrack from Termini
Budget-first trip	Terravision/SIT	Lower fares

Narrative case: delayed flight at dusk

Your plane lands late. You are tired. Decision fatigue is real.

Rule: Remove transfer chains.

Pick one mode with the fewest changes, even if it costs a little more.

Cost vs control

$$ ext{Best Value} eq ext{Lowest Price};quad ext{Best Value} = rac{ ext{Reliability} + ext{Comfort}}{ ext{Total Friction}} $$

Bottom line

The winner changes by destination and energy level. Use scenario logic, not generic rankings.
