Practical information about Rome Public transport in Rome From Fiumicino Airport By Train Leonardo Express Airport Train The Leonardo Express Airport Train is a dedicated airport train taking 30 minutes to reach the centre of Rome (Termini Station) with a frequency every 30 minutes. The only reason not to use the service is cost, it is around double the cost of competing bus and local train options. The Leonardo Express is simply the best (fastest and most comfortable) public transport transfer between Fiumicino Airport and Central Rome (Termini Station). The service is a dedicated airport train and runs non stop, every 15 minutes. The cheapest public transport option between the airport and city centre of Rome is the Terravision Bus, one of four competing airport bus services that also terminate at Termini Station, (see bottom of page). This is about a third of the cost of the Leonardo Express but takes at least twice as long and is not as frequent. At Termini Station in Rome all trains arrive and depart from platform 25, in the main area of the station - close to the left luggage office at the station. At Fiumicino Airport, the station is part of the passenger terminal complex. Although it can be a fair walk out to the station area it is undercover with moving walkways. Bus and underground (metro) / train Rome public buses run a very comprehensive and frequent system running from about 05:30 to midnight daily. These bus services are supplemented by night services that run all night along the core routes. In the centre of Rome, where most visitors are, the major bus terminus is in front of Termini Station. Termini Station is the major public transport hub for central Rome and if you use public transport for sightseeing it will soon become a familiar place. In general the public buses are used for very short journeys and as a feeder service to the Metro and train networks. For more informations about transport: https://www.rometoolkit.com/transport/rome_bus.htm Rome Bus, Tram & Metro Fares & Ticketing All local public transport is integrated in Rome. You have to purchase your tickets before you board any public transport in Rome. Most people will have a pass of one kind or another. Tickets for both the bus system and Metro can be purchased from tobacconists, bars, or vending machines at metro stations and major bus stops. On both buses and metro there is a flat fare. whether you go one stop or to the end of the line. On buses your ticket is valid for 100 minutes allowing you to change buses using a single ticket.
Ticket Validation Machines At Metro Stations there are ticket barriers where you have to insert your ticket to enter and leave the Metro Station. On buses and trams you will find ticket validation machines. If you have a single ticket then enter the ticket into the machine, if you have purchased a pass, you put the pass into the machine on your first journey. This stamps the date and time from which the pass or ticket is valid. Groups of ticket inspectors from time to time descend onto a bus or platform to check all passengers have valid tickets. If not you will incur a heavy fine, playing the innocent tourist doesn't work. Rome Bus, Tram & Metro Ticket Prices Ticket options are: B.I.T.
