To this end, TIBUS undertakes to guarantee users clear and understandable communication on the services offered.Partecipation: TIBUS undertakes to meet the needs of travelers and users by collecting the suggestions and proposals expressed by them in order to improve the services and the Charter of Services itself.

In case of necessary ordinary and / or extraordinary maintenance, the service will still be ensured in a manner that will be promptly communicated to users.Efficiency: one of the main objectives of TIBUS is to guarantee an immediate, qualified and competent response to the needs of travelers / users.

Courtesy and helpfulness: TIBUS staff pays the utmost attention to meet the needs of travelers / users by constantly listening to their needs.

The TIBUS bus station was founded in 1995, in agreement with the Municipality of Rome, as a space used for the management of national and international bus lines that depart or transit through the city of Rome. TIBUS is one of the first bus stations in Italy!

The initial bus station project, started mainly with private capital, had the main objective of solving the age-old problem of bus parking in Piazza della Repubblica. The terminal was fully operational in May 2002.

Today TIBUS represents a very important hub for the city. Close to the Roma Tiburtina train station, the subway, the urban bus station, the taxi station. The metropolitan train also departs from there to the international airport “Leonardo Da Vinci” Rome-Fiumicino which represents a strategic point for those arriving and / or leaving the city.

Tibus is the most important bus station in Italy in terms of passenger volume: 3 million in 2002, over 8 million in 2018; a number that is destined to grow thanks to the intermodality of the hub and the increasingly competitive rates of bus fares.

All investments aimed at improving the structure and services offered over the years have been made exclusively with private capital from TIBUS.

To date, the bus station has a workforce of over 70 people who guarantee passengers and users all the necessary services for every travel need.

The Terminal is located in Largo Guido Mazzoni, in the immediate vicinity of the Roma Tiburtina railway station.

Considering the location of the Terminal and the intermodality of the hub, it results in easy and convenient access.

Since March 1st 2013, the rights of bus travellers are stated in the Regulation (EU) no. 181/2011, which establishes the rights of the passengers in bus transport, providing, even for those traveling within the European Union by bus and coach,  rights similar to those already recognized for air, train and maritime travel.

The regulation can be consulted and downloaded from the Tibus portal at:
https://www.tibusroma.it/en/information-prospectus-and-bus-terminal-regulations/

With specific reference to the services managed (see points 3, 4, 5, and 6), TIBUS adopts the measures set out in Annex A of ART Resolution 28/2021 regarding the rights of users of rail and bus transport services. The user is defined by measure 2.1 g) of the resolution as the individual who utilizes the bus transport service.

Complaints can be submitted:

The form to be used is Annex 6 (“Complaint Form”) of the PIA-RA.
The corresponding form is available in the complaints section in English; it must be completed in block letters and accompanied by the identity documents of the complainant or their authorized representative, along with a copy of the authorization, as well as any other documents useful to verify the presence and/or use of the bus station services. All documents must be in .pdf or .jpg format.

On the website, in the complaints section, pre-filled forms are available in Italian, English, French, and Spanish. Complaints submitted in English, French, or Spanish will receive a response in the same language used for the complaint. Complaints will be considered if they include the following information:

Complaints submitted without using the designated form will also be accepted, provided they are clearly and legibly written and contain the data and information indicated above.

TIBUS will respond to the complaint within 30 days, communicating acceptance, rejection, or the continuation of the investigation. In the latter case, the maximum response time will be 90 days, always counted from the receipt of the complaint.

If no response is provided within the aforementioned 30-day period (whether acceptance, rejection, or notification of ongoing investigation) or if the response is unsatisfactory, the complainant may submit a second-level complaint to the Transport Regulation Authority as indicated in the following paragraph c. “Passenger Rights Protection.”

If the operator’s response is provided after the 30-day deadline and the complaint is accepted, the user is entitled to receive automatic compensation equal to 10% (ten percent) of the ticket price; such compensation shall in no case exceed the maximum amount of €8 (eight euros).

The compensation is not due in cases where:

 

The Transport Regulatory Authority approved the “Regulations” and the “Complaint form” for the assessment and imposition of the sanctions provided for by the Legislative Decree no.169 (November 4th 2014), in implementation of the regulations on the rights of passengers transported by bus contained in Regulation (EU) no.181/2011. 

The agency responsible for the application of Regulation 181/2011 is the Transport Regulatory Authority (www.autorita-trasporti.it) and secondly manages complaints submitted by customers.

The form for complaints to the Authority can be downloaded at the link:

https://www.autorita-trasporti.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/ReclamoAutobusV3.pdf

According to the “Regulations”, passengers who have already submitted a complaint form, may apply in second instance – also through associations representing their interests, where expressly delegated – to the Transport Regulatory Authority, to report violations by the transport company to the obligations set out in Regulation (EU) 181/2011.

Specifically, passengers may submit a second-instance complaint to the Authority either directly or through a representative, including representative associations, but only after having filed a complaint with Tiburtina Bus using the methods outlined in section b). This can be done in the following cases:

The maximum time limit for submitting second-instance complaints to the ART is 90 days from the date the initial complaint was filed with Tiburtina Bus.

For the resolution of compensation disputes, users may resort to ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) procedures, which are out-of-court settlement methods.

With Resolution 21/2023, the ART (Transport Regulation Authority) established rules for out-of-court dispute resolution procedures between infrastructure and service operators and consumers, in accordance with Article 10 of Law 118/2022.

Users may submit a conciliation request only if they have already filed a complaint, refund request, or compensation claim with the economic operator. The request must be submitted within one year from the date of the initial complaint in the following cases:

Users wishing to initiate a conciliation procedure through the Transport Regulation Authority must access the ConciliaWeb platform using SPID or CIE credentials. Non-residents in Italy may register directly on the platform. (Further information and access to the platform can be found at the following link: https://www.autorita-trasporti.it/conciliaweb/).

Additionally, users may seek non-judicial dispute resolution through:
a) Conciliation chambers established at Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Crafts, and Agriculture, subject to a protocol agreement between the Authority and Unioncamere;
b) ADR bodies, including joint negotiation bodies, listed under Article 141-decies, paragraph 1, of the Consumer Code.

The request for conciliation through the ConciliaWeb platform is not admissible if the dispute can be resolved before another Conciliation Body that meets the requirements of the Consumer Code and does not impose any costs on the user. The list of such Conciliation Bodies is available on the Authority’s website.

The Authority is not empowered to resolve disputes between consumers and companies, nor to sanction regulated entities in cases of compensation and assistance related to accidents.
