| Where are bus
stations in Rome located ? |
| In general,
this is a good way to get around, but take some time to familiarize
yourself with it. Electric buses 116, 117 and 119 are a tourist's friend
because they ply the pedestrian areas of Piazza del Popolo, Via del
Corso and the centro, hitting the major sights along the way. Whenever
possible, use the express buses (with X by the bus number): They're
faster and more comfortable. Pickpockets operate on all buses,
particularly on those around the tourist areas. Be aware of your wallet
and bags at all times. |

| Where are train
stations in Rome located ? |
| The Italian
national rail service. Rome's primary stations are Termini (the main
station, connected to both metro lines), Trastevere (on the rail line
between Termini and the airport) and Ostiense (in southern Rome on Metro
Line B, with connections to Ostia and Naples). Termini has easy-to-use
interactive kiosks where the traveler can choose a destination and print
a ticket. It is the source of all schedule and train information as well,
but if you need to get information from a railways employee, it can be
extremely frustrating and inefficient. Bring plenty of patience and
time. Be sure to validate your ticket using the yellow machines on the
platform before boarding a train. |

| Where are metro
monorail stations in Rome located ? |
| There are two
Metropolitana (subway) lines. The A line runs from Battistini to
Anagnina, crossing the city from west to southeast. The B line runs from
Laurentina (near EUR, south of Centro Storico) to Rebibbia and crosses
the city from south to southeast. The two lines intersect at Stazione
Termini. (Plans for a third line, running from southeast to northwest,
have been postponed indefinitely -- they continually encounter ruins
while digging the tunnel.) Stations are marked aboveground by a large
red M sign. |
