Rome
Italy ยท Roma Servizi per la Mobilitร (RSM) โ planning agency for Roma Capitale; operations led by ATAC S.p.A. with Roma TPL, Cotral and Trenitalia under the Metrebus tariff
Rome combines a strong integrated fare system (Metrebus + network-wide Tap&Go) and a single municipal mobility agency with a fragmented, crowded operational reality: no timetable coordination, mixed contactless reliability, airport services outside the fare union, and very strong car-restraint policies in the centre. Recent moves โ the December 2025 ATAC app, Moovit ticket integration, the Colosseo Line C interchange, and free shared mobility for season-ticket holders โ are pushing it toward a stronger MaaS posture.

How evenly distributed transit access is across the city
Termini's vertical rail-metro integration enables swift transfers, but scattered airport bus stops and inconsistent wayfinding across secondary hubs undermine network coherence.

Contactless payment and flat-fare transfers work across Rome's metro, bus and tram network with a 100-minute interchange window, but incomplete coverage of airport services and variable reader reliability limit seamless interoperability.

The new ATAC Roma app (Dec 2025) consolidates planning, real-time and ticketing, Moovit now sells ATAC tickets, and Google/Citymapper cover the network, but user reviews flag bugginess and real-time accuracy issues remain.
Fare integration unites metro and bus 24/7 with bundled micromobility access for pass holders, but absent pulse timetables and fragmented night-bus coverage undermine reliable cross-modal transfers.
