Operating hoursTrams start between 04:30 and 06:00 and finish between 01:00 and 02:30, depending on the line; line 9 alone starts 04:00-04:30 and runs to 02:00-02:40. Headways come in three seasonal versions: on the main lines (2, 3, 4, 9, 12, 14, 15, 24, 27, 31) the winter timetable runs every 4-12 min at peak and 6-15 off peak, the summer timetable 6-12 and 7-15, and the August timetable 8-20 and 8-16. After about 21:00 the whole surface network runs every 15-30 minutes. On 25 December and 1 May service runs only from about 07:00 to 19:30.
Heads-up
-
Do not tap your whole wallet
Present only the card you intend to use. Holding up a wallet or bag with several cards inside can charge a card you did not mean to use, or fail to read anything at all - the reader on board is a single universal device that handles season-ticket cards, bank cards, phones and watches alike.
-
Trips that stay inside zone Mi3 need a tap on the way out
Tapping out only matters when the trip leaves the city of Milan. On the tram network that means lines 15 (Rozzano) and 31 (Cinisello Balsamo): board and alight within one of those towns and the trip counts as staying inside zone Mi3. Miss the tap on the way out and 0.50 EUR is added to the fare.
-
The restaurant tram is a separate product
The ATMosfera restaurant tram cannot be boarded with a city transport ticket or pass - you pay online when you book and the voucher emailed to you is the only document that gets you on. The identical-looking 1928 cars you see around town are ordinary service trams that take an ordinary ticket.
