In the city of Rome public transport (buses and trams) is carried out by a company called ATAC.
ATAC was set up in 1911. Beforethat there was a different kind ofpublic transport …
In the 20s ATAC took over the management of bus linesfrom SRTO.
In the 60s, due to huge urbanization, Rome mobility wascompletely reorganised.
Nowadays ATAC has got more than 2700 buses and covers2000 km of roads.
Buses have an essential role in public urbanmobility.
Tickets cost 1 euro both for buses and underground and are valid for 75 minutes.
Buses are on duty everyday from 5.30 a.m to 12 p.m.
There are 27 night-lines marked withthe letter “N”. They are on duty from1.30 a.m to 5.30 a.m.
