The integrated ticket is realised within the framework of the EU-funded project CONNECT2CE , coordinated by the CEI as Lead partner. By supporting opportunities for improving the public transport connections on both local and cross-border level, public transport operators of Italy and Slovenia, as well as with the regional authority of Friuli Venezia Giulia facilitated successful institutional dialogue during the process of the extension of this cross-border service.
