Metro Lines in Rome
There are two main metro lines in Rome (A and B), which intersect at Termini station. A third line is under construction (line C), with a section already in service from San Giovanni. A branch of line B (B2) is partially operational.
Line C, which is supposed to cross the city center, proves to be a long and delicate undertaking. At every excavation, ancient remains appear…
- Line A (Orange): Connects Battistini to Anagnina.
- Line B (Blue): Connects Laurentina to Rebibbia, with a B1 branch serving Conca d’Oro and Jonio.
- Line C (Green): Partially in service, it connects Monte Compatri-Pantano to San Giovanni, with planned extensions towards the historic center.
Bus Network in Rome
The bus network is dense and frequent, although not well suited to the population size and with rather weak connections to areas outside the city center. One disadvantage is sometimes irregular schedules and crowding during peak hours.
