BY METRO
The metro is a great way to travel
in Milan. There are 4 underground
lines called Metropolitana. They run
from 6 to 12.30 a.m., about every
2 minutes or so in peak hour, less
frequently (every 5-7 minutes) during
the rest of the day and at weekends.
Single tickets are €1.50 and are
valid for 90 minutes. Within the 90
minutes, you can do one journey on
the underground and unlimited trips
on buses and trams. Tickets are
sold at electronic ticket machines in
the station, or at tobacconists and
newsstands. You can download the
free ATM app for network maps and
timetables.

Buses/Trolleybuses
Wherever the Metro doesn’t go, at
least one bus will. There are over
100 bus lines connecting the city
and the suburbs. Buses run from 5 to
1 a.m., but some may finish earlier or
start later, especially at weekends,
and you can’t buy tickets on board.
Trams
Milan also has numerous trams
crisscrossing town. Some still use
the old ‘Carrelli’ streetcars, built
in the 1920s, making them the
longest continuously-running public
transport vehicles in use. Same as
buses, you can’t buy tickets from the
driver. Trams usually run longer than
buses, from 5 to 1.30-2 AM.
Taxi
Taxis cannot be signaled but must
be picked up at assigned places,
usually outside train stations, large
hotels and in major piazze. You can
call a cab on 02 40 40, 02 69 69, 02
85 85 or 02 77 77.
