FAQ BIP / Pyou

is a contactless microchip ticket (contactless), which will allow access to any public transport (specially equipped), in any area of the Piedmont region.

By the end of the year it will be possible to load the travel tickets of the services included in the regional mobility network on the BIP card, regardless of the journey, the means or the transport company used.

La Pyou Card è la carta equivalente al BIP che la Regione Piemonte ha predisposto per i giovani tra i 15 e i 29 anni, residenti o domiciliati sul territorio regionale, rilasciata al costo di € 5,00.

Inoltre, grazie alla commissione cultura e alle convenzioni territoriali, la Pyou Card aggiunge ai servizi di mobilità del BIP, proposte culturali, sportive, del tempo libero, formative e altro ancora, offerte su tutto il territorio regionale.
