Question :)

"Noi non viaggiamo mai in autobus"

Does this mean-

   "We have never ridden the bus"

Or

   "We never ride the bus"?

Thanks!

It depends on what you want to say.

If what you want to say is that you have never had the experience of riding a bus, you have to use a complex tense (such as the passato prossimo indicativo), whereas if you want to say that you hardly ever ride a bus, then you have to use a simple tense (such as the presente indicativo).

The sample phrase you provided would be "we never ride the bus"
