Rome public transport: Rome Buses.

	Rome public transport: Rome Buses These Rome public transport articles will explain the Rome bus routes, signs and stops, and help you to travel around easier using public bus transportation in Rome... Transportation in Rome: Buses ATAC is the Rome public bus and tram company. The system for both Rome buses and trams are identical, except the tram signs are easier to read (there are less options). Rome bus stops are clearly marked with big bright orange/yellow panels outside the city walls and white signs with black text inside the city center: The bust stop signs are divided into vertical columns with street names in black beginning with the bus numbers in red at the top. The name of your road position is marked in bright red somewhere down the vertical list. All the names below your red name are where the bus still has to go. A heading "Notturna" signifies Rome night buses. Note: You have to time stamp your own ticket by means of the little orange machines in the buses. Rome city center is very well connected with bus routes. ATAC have a map of the Rome bus routes, a little daunting at first (ahem - I had to ask my wife to explain it to me...) to say the least. First zoom in to the required area, then trace the route of a particular bus number: Tram lines are shown in green (week days and holidays only). Black lines signify buses operating week days and holidays only. Blue lines signify buses operating weekdays only. Red lines signify buses operating weekends and holidays only. Blocks with numbers inside signify main bus terminals for the displayed numbers. At some of the bus stops you will find a digital display informing you of the next buses arrival time and number. Almost all the buses operating in the Rome center have GPS installed and their positions monitored. Rome public transport: Electric Buses The Rome electric buses are small and go where the larger buses can't or aren't allowed to go. The electric buses come in very handy if you are staying in areas like Campo dè Fiori, Pantheon, Piazza Navona and others where there are no Metro connections, trams or buses. The clickable street map of Rome Italy below shows the main electric bus routes that are running consistently and 7 days a week. Click for larger Street Map of Rome Italy Electric buses.
