Getting around in Milan

Getting around

The Milan public transportation system is quite efficient. The ATM-Azienda Trasporti Milanesi operates within the metropolitan area: most areas of the city can be reached by underground, tram, filobus or bus.

There are three underground lines. Tickets are available at any underground station, newspaper stands as well as tobacco shops. Metro entrances are marked with a red square sign with a white "M". The underground in Milan runs from 6:15am to 12:15pm!

Underground system Radiobus
Underground systemThe underground is made up of three underground lines (red MM1, green MM2, yellow MM3) and an additional blue line called the Passante Ferroviario. A ticket is valid for one underground ride and it only costs 1.00 euro. To view Milan's underground map you can browse the Milano public transport map. RadiobusDuring the night Radiobus is a Demand Responsive Transport mini-bus,  characterised by flexible routing and scheduling, operating in shared-ride mode between pick-up and drop-off locations according to passengers needs

Buses Bikemi
BusesATM operates an extensive bus system. Tickets are valid for up to 75 minutes of travel on buses and trams. Free public transport maps are available from ATM's Info Point in the Duomo underground station. If you firs use surface transport and transfer to the underground, you will need to re-stamp your ticket, but you cannot enter twice in the underground with the same ticket even within the 75 minutes. BikemiBIKEMI is the city of Milan’s new Bike Sharing service. Easy, practical and ecological, it was created as an alternative system of public transport to facilitate short trips within the city (maximum 2 hours), to be used in conjunction with ATM’s traditional public transit network.

Trams Taxis
TramsTrams run throughout the city. Tram stops, as well as bus stops, are marked by tall orange poles with a diagram of the tram or bus route. There are also digital signs at some stops that give an estimate of when the next tram or bus will pass by.
In the city: Student can purchase the monthly transportation pass at 17 Euro.
TaxisTaxis are not very easy to flag down off the street as is the custom in some other cities. The best thing to do is go to a taxi stand or to call one. If you live nearby a taxi stand, it is a good idea to get the telephone number. Rainy days and periods when the Fiera Milano has events, taxis are almost impossible to find, so be prepared to wait. When calling a radio taxi, the meter starts running as soon as the driver gets the call. Taxis are not cheap in Milano! To call a taxi try the following numbers: 02.8585 or 02.4040.
