The Rome Metro
The Rome Metro Underground Train system has just two lines named A and B, The lines intersect at Rome Termini Station, the main public transport hub in Rome.
With just 2 lines its not the most comprehensive network but there are stations next to the Colosseum/Roman Forum and Spanish Steps and within 5 minutes walk of the Vatican.
Trains run approximately every 4-10 minutes, from 5:30am until 11:30pm every day (until 12:30am on Saturdays).
Rome Buses
Rome public buses run a very comprehensive and frequent system running from about 05:30 to midnight daily. These bus services are supplemented by night services that run all night along the core routes.
In general the public buses are used for very short journeys and as a feeder service to the Metro and train networks.
However, in the ancient centre of Rome, where neither the Metro or any railway line ventures, the bus is the only viable public transport. Even so, the buses are constrained in this central area, far too big to travel along many of the roads they trundle along just a few of the major roads. Make sure you have comfortable walking shoes.
Rome Bus, Tram & Metro Fares & Ticketing
All local public transport is integrated in Rome. You have to purchase your tickets before you board any public transport in Rome. Most people will have a pass of one kind or another.

| Ticket Validation Machine |
Tickets for both the bus system and Metro can be purchased from tobacconists, bars, or vending machines at metro stations and major bus stops. On both buses and metro there is a flat fare. whether you go one stop or to the end of the line.
At Metro Stations there are ticket barriers where you have to insert your ticket to enter and leave the Metro Station.
 |
| Automated Ticket Machine |
On buses and trams you will find machines similar to that pictured right. If you have a single ticket then enter the ticket into the machine, if you have purchased a pass, you put the pass into the machine on your first journey. This stamps the date and time from which the pass or ticket is valid.
Most of the locals will not be using these machines, they are not fare evaders but have season tickets of one type or another.
Groups of ticket inspectors from time to time descend onto a bus or platform to check all passengers have valid tickets. If not you will incur a heavy fine.
