Rome
metro, tramway, LRT

When in Rome, do as the Romans do - whether it means taking the metro to visit His Holiness (remember to pick up a souvenir Papal hat) or taking the tram to that "relaxing" little bath house at the end of town.

Metroferro Roma (Met.Ro) is the new company which took over the rail
lines (interurban tram, metro and light rail) from CoTral (which
used to be called STEFER). Cotral continues to survive as the suburban and rural bus operator.

Metro

Rome's II line metro totals XXXXI.II km. Opened in 1955, it has 33 stations. Line B, which was the first to open (hmmm...), is 19 km, 13 km of which is underground.) Line A, opened in 1980, is 14.5 km. With the exception of a bridge over the Tevere, the line is completely in subway.

A 17.8 km light rail line from Pantano is being converted to full metro status (Line C). An underground extension will bring the line to 30 km and 35 stations.

Also in the planning stages is the elusive metro Line D.

Interurban

Roma has four interurban style commuter lines.

The Roma-Lido di Ostia commuter line is very much like an interurban. Rolling stock is similar to the metro's Line B and even shares three of it's underground stops with Line B.  Sometimes referred to as Line E, it has 12 stations.


La Ferrovia Roma-Nord has 14 stations and runs from Piazzale Flaminio (underground)  to La Giustiniana.


La Ferrovia Roma-Pantano is 18 km and 17 stations. It  will be one day be part of  Line C. The rolling stock is very much light rail-like, and reports are that the line is being upgraded to light rail, with it's inner terminus being placed underground and possibly even extended.
