Located about 70 kilometres south of Milan and just over an hour's drive from the Lombardy capital, Piacenza is an important historic city in the Emilia-Romagna region. It’s an ideal base for exploring the region, and famous for its wide variety of food and wine.
Shotl celebrates the resounding success of its on-demand public night transport service in Piacenza after over a year together with Tempi Agenzia and SETA. Since its launch, this innovative solution has transformed the city’s late-night transportation, exceeding expectations by revolutionizing the way residents and visitors travel.
The service covers the entire urban area of over 40 square km. Citizens have more than 360 stops to choose from for pick-up and drop-off locations. These city trips can be booked through Shotl’s white-label app Tuobus app (available for iOS & Android).
