Description
The Rome Metro (Italian: Metropolitana di Roma ) is a rapid transit system that operates in Rome, Italy. It started operation in 1955, making it the oldest in the country.
The Metro comprises three lines – A (orange), B (blue) and C (green) – which operate on 60 km (37 mi) of route, serving 73 stations. The original lines in the system, lines A and B, form an X shape with the lines intersecting at Termini station, the main train station in Rome. Line B splits at the Bologna station into two branches. The third line opened in 2014 and connects to the rest of the system through an interchange with Line A at San Giovanni.
Rome's local transport provider, ATAC, operates the Metro and several other rail services: the Roma–Giardinetti line and the Roma–Nord line. The Roma–Lido, which connects Rome to Ostia, on the sea, used to be operated by ATAC until 1 July 2022, when it became part of the Cotral network.
