Before the 20th century, connections between Rimini and San Marino were by stagecoach. The journey could take up to 5 hours and included first, second and third-class tickets. There was no particular difference in the accommodation inside the carriage but, depending on the type of ticket, passengers got off at different stops. Only those who bought first-class tickets could arrive at the Country Gate while the others had to get off earlier and walk the steepest stretches. Public transport and first coaches came on 30 September 1911. Journey time shortened from 5 hours to 1 hour and a quarter. There were two trips a day, one to Rimini and one back, for seven months a year. The Captains Regent were offered a permanent ticket and 100 round-trip tickets.
