This is the best explanation I've seen on their Transportation. I have living on CTA Metra and Subways for the past 40 years and I still had some questions. You answered all of them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do the research and put it in this wonderful format. I was all set to go to Room in three days and just Uber around town because I was terrified about taking the metro. Thanks to your video I am armed with information and I am absolutely going to try at least the first day and if everything goes well we’re going to continue on thank you thank you thank you thank you keep up the great work

[@FrolicAndCourage]

So happy to hear this, Shell! The bus and metro are def worth a try, but in Rome there are many options 😊 Take whatever method you are comfortable with and have a wonderful trip! 👏🏽❤️

[@bernardopena1601]

@Frolic & Courage thanks! What website would you recommend for buying online tickets or "day" passes to the Collusiam, Vatican, and other main attractions in Rome?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

I recommend buying tickets directly from the attraction websites (be sure to switch the language to English and don’t open a new browser when processing payment). I purchase direct when I know my plans won’t change b/c tickets are non-refundable. For guided tours I use Viator : www.viator.com/Rome/d511?pid=P00050571&mcid=42383&medium=link&campaign=Rome If using Viator, I like to look for tours with a lot of 4 or 5 star reviews and the badge of excellence, along free cancellation up to 25-48hrs before - I ike the flexibility! Other folks also use Get Your Guide as an alternative 👍🏽

[@bernardopena1601]

@@FrolicAndCourage Where can I buy a Roma Pass to visit several attractions for 72 hours?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

You can buy a pass online: www.romapass.it/ but they recommend non-EU resident wait to purchase it in person. This could work well, but popular sites may sell out of tickets weeks to months in advance. Hope this helps!

Fantastic video with amazing tips! Congrats! I´m going to Rome in May. 🥰 From Ciampino Airport) to Rome, you can take the bus (520) to Cinecitta station and take the metro (A) to Termini, using the same ticket - for just 1,50 euros 🤑

[@Mafort]

@@stellailieva4613 At 02:00AM I think that you have 2 options: taxi or a transfer service. In my opinion, the second option is better. Talk to your hotel manager if they can provide this service. A taxi from airport to your hotel in the middle of the night can reach more than $50 easily…. Have a nice travel!

Hey there! If you can’t use a train or bus you can use a taxi or Uber 👍🏽

Your videos are so helpful. Quick question in your opinion is it safe to 2 females first timers take FL1 to Trasvestere station from airport then take take to hotel near Pantheon with luggages. I am a bit worried about pickpockets at train. TIA

[@FrolicAndCourage]

I think it is safe - my sister and I traveled together on the train, but like any train station be mindful of your surroundings. Pack tight, pack light, and always keep your hands and eyes on your luggage. It also helps to plan your route in advance and move quickly. If you get a weird feeling at any time, remove yourself from the area as quickly as possible. Most people mind their business, but always be alert ❤️

[@nluu3560]

Great video! Learning so much! Really appreciate all the information. Will be taking a cruise in a couple of weeks this will come in handy. Got a question if you're taking the train from Civitavecchia station. Would buying a BIRG ticket covers unlimited trips for one day to and from Civitavecchia to Rome and back and also included all metro rides? Or we need to buy a round trip BIRG tickets to cover that? Comparing to buying a standard round trip Trenitalia train tickets to Roma Termini, and then buy additional 24 Hour Metro ticket to get Rome City center?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thank you for watching nluu! A 5-zone BIRG should cover your trip for the day, metro and bus included. Just be sure to jump on the earliest train leaving the port and possibly the second to last train (if you miss it there will be another!) before you board in the evening.

[@barrywebber100]

Thanks for the informative and helpful video. There seems to be a lot of confusion about which areas are covered by the CIS - (Carta Integrata Settimanale) weekly ticket. We are going to Rome a week today and our AirBNB has a Lazio postcode and we need the CIS ticket to cover as far as Gianicolense/Ravizza. I could find nothing online to confirm it does but when pressed our host said that it was. The transport zone system in online english is quite opaque and I was wondering if we needed a CIRS/BTR - (Biglietto Turistico Regionale) weekly ticket? I just hope our host is correct or our daily transport to and from our AirBNB to the Centro Storico will be much more difficult!

Hiiii love! Such a great video thank you! But what if I got my trenitalia tickets online? How do I validate them?

Wow! Absolutely helpful information. Very well explained. I have a question. I have booked a hotel in the area between Campo di Fiori and Via Arenula. From FCO I intend to take FL1 train to Trastevere and then Tram 8. Is that the best option? Also is my FL train ticket valid on the tram? Thank you Merci.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks Isabelle! Since you are traveling to one of the smaller areas of Rome, this seems like a great option! Be sure to put your exact start and ending address in Google maps (and the date/time of departure) just to see if there is an alternate route that may be more favorable using the bus or walking. If you purchase a TrenItalia FL ticket it is only valid for the train ride, I do not believe it covers transfers. Once the train ride is over, i suggest buying a ticket for the tram (one of the tickets listed in the video depending on your itinerary and needs). Have a safe and fun trip!

[@ashwinijohn6839]

Hi , Thanks for the informative video . We are travelling to Milan on one of the days that we are visiting Rome in the morning and would like to know if it is possible to travel from the San Pietro train station to Roma Termini via Trenitalia 2nd class using the ATAC CIS weekly ticket. The information is different on websites, so just wanted to check with you. Basically I would like to know if the CIS ticket is valid on Trenitalia within Rome. Thanks !

[@Baycitywalker]

Super helpful, thanks. Would you happen to know anything about the Cotral app? I know you can purchase and activate tickets directly from app, but Im unsure what to do once you board the bus. Is there a QR code reader or something? Thank you very much.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

No problem! I don’t know much about the Cotral app, but I do know there is a ticket validator/scanner on the bus. The scanner is usually right near the driver’s seat when you enter and/or somewhere near the middle of the bus near the back door. The challenging part is finding the validating machine when the bus is full 😅

@@FrolicAndCourage Thanks for answering so quickly, I really appreciate your efforts.

[@megand175]

Visiting Rome at the moment and bought the weekly pass but really I’m finding that Rome is actually relatively ‘small’ and easily walkable compared to say Paris and I’m barely using the pass at all. It may depend where you are staying but I presumed it would be like Paris where I topped up a 10 trip purchase on the Navigo card more than twice in the 5days. Love the Paris metro!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Rome is a walkable city for sure and I agree - it all depends on what part of the city you stay in and your itinerary. Paris is also one of my absolute favorite cities 🥰 Glad you are enjoying Rome by foot - there are great shops to discover just by walking 🚶🏽‍♀️🙂

[@gen.120]

Bonjour Antoinette. First of all.. thank you so much for this informative video. Im traveling to Rome in May & i was totally confused & tried to understand the huge map, that by chance you just explained it in a simple way. So after wht i heard & read, the validate machines are before entering the train & also inside the train/ bus itself? Correct me if im wrong. And in case i missed it, i can write down the date/time by myself ( anything else?) Your video is extremely helpful! ❤️

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Genevieve 👋🏽 I love that this video helped you 🥰 The metro requires you to validate the ticket in the turnstile. Once you pass the turnstile you are good to go - no validation needed while on the actual metro car (there are no validation points there). On the bus, you have to validate your ticket while on the bus on a ticket reader near the bus driver or entry door. People may be standing in the way, but they will move. If the machine doesn’t work, then write the date/time on the ticket to avoid fines. Otherwise, if the machine works and you just missed it or forgot and get caught, you’ll have to pay. Hope this helps! ❤️

[@sofiakontorovich9702]

This is so helpful! Thank you! I’m going to Rome next week and stressing getting around buses and trains with my kids. Do I have to buy tickets for my 8 and 12 yr old? Or are they free?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thanks Sofia! Kidd under 10yrs old are free with a paying adult. We didn’t download the app, but there are card readers that pretty much function like Apple/Google Pay - tap your phone and the ticket is validated.

[@poullito]

Question please! When you validate the ticket, do you only do it once?

[@awilson7530]

Im a newbie.....when you say you have to validate your ticket ---- what do you mean?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hi Awilson, welcome! 😊 Once you purchase a public transportation ticket or pass you have to scan it at a dedicated card reader at the station (or on the bus) to show you’ve paid for the ticket. Once scanned, you’ve “validated” the fact that you legitimately paid the required fee. Does this make sense?

[@charmaineledonio7914]

Hello Antoinette.. i will be in rome for 10days and i want to see most of the rome attractions.. i dont know if i need to buy the CIS ticket or the tourist roma pass 72hrs.. is there a tourist roma ticket for 7days? What can you suggest?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hello!! 👋🏽 Unfortunately there is not a 7-day tourist pass available - there’s only the 24/48/72hr passes. I think a CIS+Roma 72hr pass will work, but there’s also a monthly pass that may be cheaper. I’m not familiar with using the monthly pass, but it may be worth looking into to see if it will work for you 😊: www.atac.roma.it/en/tickets-and-passes/monthly-roma

Hey girl I used your videos about how to get around Chicago through the bus and metro system last April. You saved me a ton of money and now here I am, watching you back for Italy. I wanted to ask a few questions: 1. You mentioned that on some bit tickets, it runs for 100 hrs. Are we talking about just 100 hrs worth of ride or does the timer start as soon as you validate it even if you're in a transport? 2. I'm gonna be in rome for 3 days, which ticket do you recommend? I know you bought the Cis ticket but is there a ticket where I can use it to rome, Florence, and venice? Or are these tickets only valid in rome? Thank you!!!!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey girl! That makes me soooo happy to hear that you were able to save as much money as I did on transportation!! 😁 to answer your questions: 1) it’s 100mins (not hours, unfortunately) the timer starts when you first use/validate your ticket. 2) It depends! I’d go through your itinerary to determine when and where you plan to use public transport. If you plan to use public transportation a lot, look into the 72hr tourist pass. I mainly focused on getting around Rome so the tickets I mentioned are only valid for the Rome/Lazio region, but If you want to travel to different cities (Florence, Venice) look into TrenItalia tickets to get there and the individual cities public transport options.👍🏽

[@srishtimeghare15]

Hi! Great Video! so simplified! I have a doubt, are the public transport buses same route as hop on hop off buses? Do the hopon hopoff buses give any more advantage over the public transport?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hi Srishti! The public busses are for everyday use, make more stops, are much cheaper (usually no more than $3/ride), and don’t run the same routes as hop on hop off busses. Hop on/off busses are specifically designed to stop at the major sights and are more expensive (around $45-60), but for one price you don’t have to worry about transfer fees or an extensive transport network.

[@jaspreetkhehra9625]

Hi, this is me and my wife first time in Rome. Where should we buy the 48 hr bus pass from? Do you have any online website or we need when we arrive at Termini station? If we would like to go to from our hotel to Vatican is it best to go via bus, train, or taxi?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Jaspreet - you can buy the tickets from the kiosks in the metro station, from an ATAC office, or online w/ an app - check out the official site here (www.atac.roma.it/en/tickets-and-passes/roma48h). The best way to the Vatican depends on your location, time of day, traffic, and whether any events are taking place on the day of your visit. I’d suggest using Google maps to route your trip a few days before and the day of your trip for the best routes. I took the metro and walked a few minutes from my hotel without issue, but check the maps before you go! 🙂

Leonardo Express is a better option from/to Fiumicino Airport and Rome City Center. It’s a separate ticket from the metro ticket you’re gonna use around Rome.

Hi Arun - I don’t believe the Roma tourist pass covers airport transfers. The best bet is to snag an FL1 train ticket or take the Leonardo Express. Once you’re in the city center, the pass will cover unlimited travel.

Thank you so much, Vanessa! You’re doing the right thing by researching and learning in advance and you’ll be so prepared by the time your trip comes👏🏽 The great news is that if your children are under 10yrs old, they travel for FREE with a fare-paying adult, no ticket required!

Hi, I posted a question yesterday but I guess didn't get posted or got deleted. I was wondering if you have any feedback for me. we were in Rome earlier this year and on the last day, we purchased a 100 min ticket to get to our destination. unfortunately, we didn't know we have to scan our tickets and we got ticketed literally 30 minutes after purchasing. We tried to communicate with them and show the timing but they didn't even look at the tickets time and issued fines. Do you know if there is a chance to fight this or if we have to pay?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hi Panteha, just seeing this post. Yikes, it sounds like they were vigilant in their enforcement efforts that day. All tickets must be validated and as you’ve seen, officers are not interested in hearing anything else besides the validation machine doesn’t work (in which case you have to write the date/time you entered, etc). There is a way to appeal the fine (visit www.atac.roma.it/en/utility/pay-your-fines) if you want to pursue it, but I’m not sure how successful people have been and I’ve heard your appeal must be written in Italian. I haven’t gone through the process, but if you want to pursue it please let us know how it turns out!

@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you! I guess we have to pay them. We don't know how to write in Italian. I don't think their approach is nice. hurts because we didn't even think of violating their system. They need to have at least a wave or grace system for the tourists. Thank you so much for replying back!

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Anytime Panteha! I’m sorry you have to go through that and a little grace would be nice ❤️ Ticket validation in Rome is serious business!

[@RissAndCo]

Is it true that if you forget to validate or the machine is not working, you can simply write the date and time on your ticket?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

It is true! But if the ticket isn’t working I’d let an attendant know (especially if you have a weekly pass or longer).

[@paulgerhard5170]

We were really surprised that the MULTIBIT 'rechargeable' cards can only top-up one trip at a time from the ticket machine, once you have used up the tickets you purchased... makes no sense

[@deepa0409]

Does the Roma 24h or 48h ticket cover the FL5 line to civitavecchia?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Dee 👋🏽 the Roma pass is valid within the limits of Rome, so it unfortunately does not extend to Civitavecchia.

[@saherkawas2499]

Thank you very much for this useful video! Just one question, if I want to buy the CIS ticket, how do I proceed to personalize it? I mean, If I buy it from a ticket machine, is there an option to put in your name and date of birth? Or should I write down my information by hand? Thank you

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Yes - on the back of the card there are boxes for your name. All you need is a pen to fill in the boxes and you are good to go!

How much does it cost to get from the Civiteveccia port to Rome center via taxi?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Donna, it costs between €125 to €170 to get from Civiteveccia port to Rome via taxi. If cruising, you can also check to see if the cruise line offers a transfer as an excursion. 👍🏾😊

[@Valdal98]

@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you for answering. We are cruising, but they are not offering transfer bc we are staying two days before and after the cruise in a hotel we chose.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

You’re welcome 😊 I’m sorry they didn’t offer transportation, but thankfully there are a few options from Rome 👍🏽

[@shogher]

would you recommend the CIS for a week of traveling in Rome for 6 people? Alsoo is it possible to use one pass for the whole group or is that illegal 🤧

[@kathrynvogtmann-ii2ui]

Using a taxi, for example, 4 friends use a taxi that will cost 20 euros,. Is that 5 euros per person or 20 euros per person?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Kathryn! It should be $20 for the taxi ride 🚗 Typically, taxis shouldn’t charge per person unless you have more than 4 people. They key word is “shouldn’t” but some drivers may try to test that limit.

[@christygreene8362]

what about the Tram?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Christy! I didn’t spend much time (at all) on the trams because not a lot of tourists take them and the network is not nearly as extensive or well connected as the bus or metro routes. Fares are the same as the other tickets 👍🏽

[@jac1793]

Can a 10 BIT ticket only be used on the day of purchase?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Jac! The 10 BIT is for 10 single journeys and you do not have to use it on the same day of purchase. Once you validate the first ticket you have 100 minutes to use it. Once the time expires, your next ticket will not be active until YOU validate it - whether it’s the same day, the next day, next week, etc. Hope this helps! 🙏🏽 😊

[@jac1793]

@@FrolicAndCourage I ended up going for the Roma 72 hour pass for unlimited metro rides. I am enjoying Rome so far thanks for your help

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Gotta love the unlimited pass! I’m so glad you are enjoying Rome 😊

How can I get from the Terimini to the cruise port?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Thea- purchase a TrenItalia ticket at any one of the kiosks at Termini to Civitavecchia. There are only a handful of trains leaving everyday that may - or may not - align with the cruise schedule, so plan accordingly! From the cruise port take a bus for around €3 (cash only) to your cruise line 🚢

[@tawilson29]

@@FrolicAndCourage Thanks for responding. Should I purchase the ticket online to secure a spot?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Anytime! You can to be extra safe and secure your spot, but there are so many seats on the train that I doubt it will be full. Just be mindful of the time and arrive early!

[@mabv812]

Are kids free for the bit pass?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey Mabv812, Kids under 10 are free when accompanied by a fare paying adult 👍🏽 so as long as the adult purchases the fare, the child should be free 🙂 here’s a link to more info/ www.atac.roma.it/en/tickets-and-passes/free-travel

A bit complicated for a foreigner...........

[@bbbpgivesmestrength4100]

This video is so helpful! Thank you so much. But I have a question, does the CIRS cover Rome too? I was thinking to buy CIRS so that I could ride the FL1 and the public transportation in Rome too.

Awesome, thank you so much Braxton! 😊❤️👍🏽
