There are two ways to travel on the Trenino Verde: chartered trains or scheduled trains. You can even take your bike on the train (see the bottom of the page for further information).
- Chartered Trains
Preferred by groups, companies or agencies that, being able to count on a certain number of passengers, hire the train and personalize the trip (itinerary, schedule, stops).
You can “put your own train together“, choosing one or more coaches and a steam or diesel locomotive.
The price depends on the trip requested and obviously goes up for a long trip or if historical equipment (steam locomotive and period coaches) is used.
For example, these are the prices for a 75-km trip, VAT included, with various combinations of rolling-stock:
| Composition | Seats | Fare (€) |
| Diesel rail-car
2 diesel rail-cars Diesel locomotive with 1 coach Diesel locomotive with 1 period coach Steam locomotive with 1 coach Steam locomotive with 1 period coach |
