Metro
In Rome there are only two metro lines. Converging at the central train station Termini, the lines A and B branch out in separate directions, neglecting much of the city along the way. If you need to get to anywhere near Termini, the metro has you covered, but consider that this is only a tiny part of Rome. Other important locations, for example Trastevere or Piazza Buenos Aires, are nowhere near a metro stop. Even Piazza Venezia, the bustling center of tourism and the legendary point to which all roads once led, has no stop of its own.

The city’s rich history prevents it from fully modernizing. It seems that every attempt at extending the underground is thwarted by the discovery of some archeological lost treasure. As soon as they start digging, they find themselves handing over their picks and shovels to the scientists and historians.

The Metro is the most punctual way to travel the city, but gets very crowded during rush hour.

Bus
ATAC

There are buses to almost everywhere in greater Rome. The ATAC local buses serve the city center and most nearby suburbs. The city buses are an excellent way around Rome especially to places not served by the subway lines. The Express Lines cover longer distances and make fewer stops but run frequently. Another bus service, COTRAL, serves the outer suburbs and outlying regional areas but run less frequently.

Taxi
Taxis are quite expensive in Rome. The easiest way to get a taxi is to find the nearest taxi stand. During the rush hour (4pm-8pm), as in all cities, it can be difficult to find a taxi. Licensed taxis are all white or all yellow and have a taxi sign on the roof of the car as well as their license number inside the car. In every official taxi there is a card that explains – in English – the extra charges for luggage, late-night travel, Sunday and holiday travel, and airport journeys. Always make sure the meter is switched on. Be careful of unlicensed and illegal taxi drivers who approach you at the train station or the airport. They will often ask for additional fees at the end of the trip.

Trenitalia

Trenitalia is a very popular euro rail way to travel through all of Europe. On most long distance trains, a seat reservation is optional. That means you can just hop on and show your eurail ticket to any inspector when he asks, but if the train is full you may end up standing. To avoid this on a long journey, you can (if you want) make a seat reservation for a small charge, usually about 3 Euros. The security is high at all euro rail way stations so please make sure you have all your documentation with you to show to security if asked.
