tion, just behind Reggio's train station. Destinations include Carpi (€3.50, one hour, 10

coast.

an-Bologna line, including Milan (regional/express €12.25/25.50, 1½ to 2½ hours,
hourly), Parma (€2.80, 15 minutes, half-hourly), Modena (€2.80, 15 minutes, half-hourly)
and Bologna (€5.60, 45 minutes, half-hourly).
