Types of transport tickets

The ticket is single and operates on the metro, bus, tram. Transplants are allowed within the specified time. Before the trip you need to validate the ticket.

  1. B.I.T. (biglietto integrato tempo) - 1 trip with transfers for 100 minutes € 1,50;

  4. C.I.S. (turistico di una settimana biglietto integrato) - ticket for 7 days € 24.

If you want to travel around Rome, you need to buy tickets for the Lazio region, for example:

  • BIRG (Biglietto Integrato Regionale Giornaliero) for 1 day for € 3.30-14 (depending on the zone).

See the current ticket prices at www.atac.roma.it.

Where and how to buy tickets?

Tickets are sold in special vending machines and ticket offices at metro stations, in newspaper and tobacco kiosks. If you have a SIM of a local operator, then a ticket can be bought via SMS.

Ticket machine in Rome

The easiest way to buy tickets is at the machine at the entrance to the subway. Choose English, one of 4 types of tickets, then the number of tickets. You will see the total amount. Load coins or bills at this time. After that, the machine will print the tickets and return the change.

Buses do not need to buy tickets from the driver. Inside, there is a yellow machine that accepts coins. Load € 1,5 into it and get a ticket. Do not forget to immediately compost.!

How to calculate the route?

I have one universal way that works in Rome, and in Prague, and even in Bangkok. On my phone I have the Google maps application installed. In the search I’m picking up the place I need. I click on the red icon. I choose how to get there: by transport or on foot. And I get the route and schedule with the numbers of buses, trams and metro.
