'Mode': AROUND
Category: Subway/Metro
Getting TO/AROUND: Most of old Rome can be discovered on foot; however, if you want to visit places that are further apart, the cheapest method of transportation are the buses.
The central bus-station is right outside of Termini, where you can also find the office of the bus-company (ATAC). The web of bus-routes spans all over Rome; after midnight the regular buses stop, but special night-buses will run till the morning hours.
We experienced a ride on a bus during rush-hours, which meant we were squished like sardines, without room to hold on to a handle or something - wasn't really necessary - since we were stacked into the bus so tightly, there wasn't a chance that anybody would topple over.
Tickets are available at all metro-stations, newspaper-stands, some convenience stores, and at the ATAC office. You can buy tickets for the nightbuses directly from the driver. There are several options of tickets:
- Biglietto Integrato a Tempo (BIT). Valid for 75 minutes upon entering the bus. €1.--
- Biglietto Integrato Giornaliero (BIG). Valid for 24 hours. € 4.--
- Carta Integrate Settimanale (CIS). Valid for 1 week. € 16.--
- Abbonamento Mensible. Valid for 1 month. € 30.--
We found the 24-hour ticket to be most useful, since we were in Rome for only 3 days and didn't use the bus each day. This card is aprx. €4.-- per person, per day and is also valid for the metro.

You have to throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain turning your back to it. Ciao! | windsorgirl Mon Sep 18, 2006 22:21 UTC
Thank you for dropping by my Baffin Island pages, someday I'll get to Italy and esp Rome....thanks for the tips! | foodandwinelover Sun Dec 25, 2005 00:28 UTC
translations to be taken lightly, you said. And that's okay if it wasn't so obvious you used a virtual translator... honestly... That's stereotype meets bad virtual language translator at its best. | vesna04 Tue Dec 20, 2005 18:22 UTC
Beautiful page:) Greetings, Vesna |
