Rome Airports

The bus lines cover the entire city and give you a chance to mingle, though at times a little too closely, with Romans and other tourists.

Tickets

Tickets for both the bus system and Metro can be purchased from tabacchis, bars,
or vending machines at metro stations and major bus stops. There are three main types:

* B.I.T. € 1.00. Standard ticket, valid for one Metro ride or 75 minutes on all buses.
* B.I.G. € 4.00. Daily ticket, valid for unlimited metro, bus, and train travel within the Comune di Roma.
This includes Ostia , but not Fiumicino airport or Tivoli .
* B. T.I. €11.00. 3-day tourist ticket, valid for everything listed under the B.I.G ticket.
* C.I.S. €16.00. Weekly ticket, valid for everything listed under the B.I.G. ticket.

Note: Although it may appear to be so, the bus and metro system is not free! For the Metro,
validate your ticket before boarding the train. For the bus, look for the orange stamping machines onboard.
If you are caught without a validated ticket, the fine is €51.00.

------------------------------------------

The buses and the metro use the same tickets so you can transfer from one to the other. There is no concept of a transfer ticket; you can change from one bus to another and take one trip on the metro for as long as the ticket is valid.

You can purchase tickets ahead of time, they are only considered "in use" when they are validated on the bus or metro.

Keep your ticket with you for the whole bus ride. You may be asked to show it to prove you have a validated ticket. On the metro you should keep your ticket until you are out of the station. Current fines for those traveling without a ticket are a minimum of 100 to a maximum of 500 euro.

Subway Metro

Rome has 2 metro line A -B

Best way to cross the city

The Metro system has only two lines, A and B, which cross at Termini. You'll find that the Metro bypasses much of the historical center, which can be frustrating when you're trying to reach the famous sights and characteristic neighborhoods. The reason for this is that there is still so much of ancient Rome beneath the modern city that they can't dig a tunnel for the trains without running into 2,000 year-old brick walls, mosaic pavements, and marble columns! You can see some evidence of this in the Repubblica and Termini stations.

Trains run approximately every 7-10 minutes, from 5:30am until 11:30pm every day (until 12:30am on Saturdays).

Note: The Metro stations on Line A do not have handicapped facilities (except for Cipro-Musei Vaticani and Valle Aurelia); alternatively, bus 590 does the same route as the Metro line and has wheelchair access. (See the list of useful bus lines below.) All the metro stations on Line B are fully wheelchair accessible except Circo Massimo, Colosseo, and Cavour. (Cavour is accessible only at the entrance for direction Laurentina).
