#transports / streets
The subways, little trains and trains of Rome. Timetables, tickets and other information.
It would not seem that Rome has a large amount of rail lines, but it is often the proverbial laziness of us Romans that prevents the use of what we have available (ok, sometimes it is also the fault of the inefficiency of public transport).
For maps, routes and stops see the link at the bottom.

Let's start with the subways. They are managed by ATAC.
Metro A (MEA).
Almost entirely underground, except for a very short stretch between the Lepanto and Flaminio stops (to cross the Tiber). Begun in 1963, it entered service on February 16, 1980, on the Ottaviano-Anagnina section. On May 29, 1999 the Valle Aurelia-Ottaviano section entered service. On 1 January 2000 the remaining Battistini-Valle Aurelia section.
Along line A there are about 290 trips a day from each terminus.
The frequency during peak hours is a train every 3 minutes (up to 10 minutes).
It is estimated that it carries more than 450,000 passengers every day.
Timetables:
- Sunday to Thursday 5:30 - 23:30
- Friday and Saturday 5:30 - 1:30

ATAC also operates three railway lines.
Rome-Lido (RL).
Inaugurated in 1924, it connects the Ostiense district with the districts of Ostia.
There are about 86 trips from each terminus (much less holidays).
It carries an average of 55,000 passengers per day.
The frequency should be one train every 10 minutes; but beware: it is considered one of the worst railway lines in Italy.
