Vaporetto ticket validation

Once you have bought your vaporetto ticket, you must remember to validate it before entering the landing stage by passing it in front of the special digital machines until you get the correct sound signal with green light.
The main stops have access gates but the secondary stops do not have them and you could forget to validate the ticket and face an unpleasant fine.
The obligation to validate the travel ticket is active on each journey also for timed tickets and season tickets.
