Genoa
Italy ยท AMT - Azienda Mobilitร e Trasporti S.p.A. (Genova)
Genoa is unusually consolidated under a single operator (AMT) covering buses, metro, funiculars, lifts, rack railway, Navebus and provincial services, delivering excellent fare integration, open-loop contactless with group capping, and free metro for residents. Weaker points are the absence of true MaaS (sharing services remain siloed), no timed-connection planning, and an AMT/Trenitalia ticketing boundary, but physical interchanges at Brignole and Principe have improved markedly through 2024-2026 works.
How integrated public transport is โ quantitative reach and qualitative interchange combined
Car-free liveability data not yet available for this city
How evenly distributed transit access is across the city
Both major rail stations connect directly to metro lines via underground passages, but Brignole's completed 2024 accessibility upgrades contrast sharply with Principe's ongoing work, while hidden metro entrances and unclear vertical-mode signage undermine overall wayfinding.

Genoa's unified โฌ2 contactless ticket with 110-minute free transfers across all modes and automatic best-fare capping eliminates interchange penalties, while annual CityPass integration covers most multimodal services except Trenitalia urban rail.

Official AMT app offers real-time bus, metro and vertical-mode info plus ticket purchase, and Moovit/Google Maps cover the network well, but the AMT app reportedly fails on foreign SIMs and the regional LiguriaGO MaaS app is still in development.
Single-operator control enables fare integration across transit modes at any hour, but absence of timed transfers, late-night service, and fragmented micromobility apps outside the AMT system limits seamless journey planning.
