The concept of intermodality is becoming increasingly important for the development of global communication and environmental sustainability. Creating an intermodal network capable of increasing connections between the inland and coastal areas of the same country or between different countries is fundamental in order to improve the mobility and the level of service offered. In Italy numerous projects have been presented to increase national intermodality. An example is the Emilia-Romagna Region which, thanks to the Inter-Connect project, aims to enhance the accessibility of passengers between the city of Bolo-gna and the coastal areas, by promoting the use of collective transport. In this study, an analysis has been carried out on the connectivity between Bologna and Ravenna and on the introduction of an integrated ticket bus-train to reduce the journey time on the railway line and increase the use of collective transport. The analysis provided for the redesign of the railway stops to have a faster and more efficient service, improving user satisfaction. In addition, an integrated bus-train ticket was created to promote the use of public transport. The results have shown that this new solution has allowed to have less delays on the line even if the reorganization of the stops has previewed the cancellation of some of them. In addition, numerous surveys have shown that the use of an integrated bus-train ticket helps improve intermodality within cities. However, the survey highlighted that new ticket adver-tising campaigns are needed to make users more informed.
