Transport for Rome

Two lines of Metro in Rome, 48 stations for a rail network of 36 km. A bus network of 2800 units for 350 different routes and then trams and regional trains. Not a bad range for the Roman public transport, numbers that are showing slow improvements but certainly have a "long way" still to do for a capital such of Rome with 2.8 million inhabitants and with over 20 million visitors a year.
Here you find some informations about the public lines wich you may need in Rome:

Subway has two lines: Metro A (marked by red) and Metro B (marked by blue), the logo of a white "M" on red background indicates the presence of a subway stop.
The two lines intersect in "Termini" Central station, the main hub of all public transports, local and regional. The Metro A has 27 stations through the capital from South-East to North-West, the gates are open at 05.30 and the service usually ends at 23:30 from Monday to Thursday and on Sunday, while ends at 1:30 on Friday and on Saturday. The timetable is just the same for the line B that with its 22 stations goes from South to North-East of Rome. Both of Metro run approximately every 3-5 minutes.

Buses and trams work from 5:30 am until midnight, from 00.30 until 5:30 am instead working more than 20 nigh lines, whose terminals are in Termini (Piazza del Cinquecento) and in Piazza Venezia.

The night bus stops are marked with an "N" and with the symbol of an owl, the tickets can be purchased directly on board. Tickets are the same for bus, tram and subway, can be purchased at any tobacconist and newspapers store or at the automatic machines inside any subway stations. Remember to buy your ticket before getting on buses because not all of them are equipped with tichet machines.

The cost of one ticket is 1 euro and it is valid for 75 minutes on buses and trams, and for a single run on subway, wherever you go. There is the chance to buy daily ticket at the price of 4euros, 3days ticket at 11euros and weekly ticket at 16euros.
