Public transport in Rome is good, but it can be quite crowded during rush hour. The buses and trams are a great way to get around the city, and there are also some underground stations which can be useful if you're traveling long distances. One downside of public transport in Rome is that it's not always reliable - sometimes the buses don't turn up or they get stuck in traffic or don't work perfectly. If you're planning on renting a property in Rome, We would recommend getting a place close to a bus stop or metro station, as this will make getting around much easier. You will have to pay for the transport on a monthly basis. The cost is about 30 € per month if you use only public transport and it’s about 60 - 80 €if you use your car on a daily basis. However, most of the time you'll probably find yourself riding around Rome on a bus. Using the city's ATM buses will cost 1.50 € per ticket (the price went up in 2018), although there are daily and weekly passes available from ticket offices at some metro stations for 6 € and 24 € respectively. When paying cash for tickets on the bus, be aware that only coins are accepted (no bills). If you don't have a ticket when boarding your bus, you can ask for one from the driver; note that all tickets must be validated by pressing them into the machine next to where you enter the bus before starting your journey! If caught without a valid ticket or pass during an inspection conducted by an officer aboard one of these buses, fines start at 50 € and increase if not paid within 5 days (although these inspections aren't common).
