The bus network is very
extensive and will cover most tourist needs.
As a resident, you'll find buses poorly
documented and often dangerously crowded.
Indications at bus stops are not decent,
with strange gothic signs to signal anomalies.

There
are relatively few trams in the city. If you
are lucky enough to find a convenient line
for you, it's a much nicer ride than buses
and metro, and a good alternative to private
transportation. |

Taxi stops are located at various points around the
city. Visitors are recommended to use only the white
official taxis. Surcharges are applied for each item
of luggage, night service (10pm to 7am), on Sundays,
bank holidays, and for airport transfers. Then calliong
a taxi on the phone, the meter is turned on immediately
after the call. Small tips are appreciated, although
Italians often do not bother. |
