    They probably need some kind of token of authentication, bit In not sure what other methods they could use that would be better.

      A random number that is displayed only once and it’s the buyers responsibility to record it.

        Additionally, generate a downloadable pdf or similar with qr code containing whatever info needed to verify the ticket.

      I can’t comment on the practices of Italian transit agencies, but in the US, when you buy a train or bus ticket, the email just contains a QR code which you give to the train conductor or bus driver to scan. It also typically includes your name as well (tickets are not transferrable to prevent resale) but I don’t see a reason that you couldn’t design a system with simple bearer tickets.

      So this system could just take your payment (which is not anonymous anyway since a name is required to process card payments) and then show you a QR code and tell you to take a screenshot of it.
