Rome Tube

Rome Tube: An Easy Way to Get Around Rome

The Rome tube system is satisfactory, starting at 5.30 a.m. and continuing to 23.30 p.m., with trains running every 8 minutes and for the those who want to see the city by night, there are 2 shuttle buses, 40N and 55N, which substitute the tube trains from the first to the last stop and stop at the same stops just like the tube. Those buses run every 30 minutes, from 0.30 a.m. till 5.30 a.m. Tickets cost 1 euro each and last 75 minutes from the initial validation on the A and B lines and on buses; you can only use it once on tube and several times on buses for the duration of 75 minutes from the initial validation.

Rome Tube: Other Destinations
The tram line is also important, recently amplified and some suburban railways, like Roma-Viterbo railway, which runs through the northern part of the city and the Rome-Lido railway, which goes to Ostia. As a matter of fact they are just like subways. The first line was the B1, just a part of the B line. Half of the trains coming from Laurentina, arrived at Bologna station, will continue on the B1 line till Piazzale Jonio, while the other half of the trains will keep on running on the old line till Rebibbia. The other line is the C line, which will run through the city starting from Pantano and going to Clodio. Obviously there will be a lot of different stops of the city centre, like Largo Argentina, Corso Vittorio, Castel S.Angelo.
