Short answer

In most big cities you can simply tap a contactless card at the gate or on board and the system caps your day — Rome €8.50 (Roma 24H), Milan €7.60, Venice €25 (Venezia Daily). Single tickets: Rome €1.50 / 100 min, Milan €2.20 / 90 min, Florence €2.00 / 90 min, Bologna €2.30, Turin €1.90 digital, Genoa €2.00 / 110 min, Venice vaporetto €9.50 / 75 min. One card per person — you can’t tap twice for a companion. Night buses cover the gaps (Rome midnight–05:00, Bologna N lines at weekends). Taxis: take them from the rank or by phone/app; Rome starts at €3.50 weekdays with a €9 minimum. Uber in Italy is mostly Uber Black/NCC or taxis, not cheap UberX.
