Both day and monthly passes are available. Milan also has a three-line underground system, with tickets useable on both underground and bus.
Tram: There is an extensive network consisting of eight routes in Rome; Milan, Messina and Turin also have tram services.
Bus: Services operate in all main cities and towns. In Rome, the network is extensive and complements the underground and tram systems.In larger cities, fares are generally pre-purchased from machines or tobacconists (tabacchi). Bus tickets can be bought in packets of five and are fed into a stamping machine on boarding.
Taxi: Available in all towns and cities. Government-regulated taxis are either white or yellow. Visitors should avoid un-metered taxis. They are generally relatively expensive, with extra charges for night service, luggage and taxis called by telephone.
