[edit] Classification

RFI classifies stations into Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze categories.[3]

[edit] Platinum

Major stations with over 6,000 passengers per day. As major interchanges they will have many departures and arrivals daily, and will be served by high speed/long distance services. They are the principal stations for the Italian cities they serve. They have the highest commercial potential (both fares and revenue from on-site merchants). 16 stations are classified as platinum:[4]

[edit] Gold

Gold stations have high traffic levels. These include major urban inter-changes and stations serving large towns. They have a lower commercial potential.

[edit] Silver

This class includes all other small to medium sized stations served by metropolitan and regional services. Some of these may be served by long distance services.

[edit] Bronze

Small stations with low passenger numbers. This includes minor stations served by regional services.
