Italy
Rome
An entire city built on ancient ruins. Dig below and you hit history — hence just three metro lines.
Regional trains (FL lines), Metromare and Roma-Viterbo
Updated on August 5, 2026
How to ride
- 1Work out which kind of line you're takingTrenitalia FL lines have no fare gates; Metromare and Roma-Viterbo do. That changes the ticket you buy.
- 2Buy your ticket before you boardBuy at a machine, office or newsstand. On Metromare and the urban Roma-Viterbo line you can just tap a card at the gate instead.
- 3Validate, then boardStamp your ticket in the platform validator on FL lines, or at the gate on Metromare and Roma-Viterbo. Unstamped means no ticket.
- 4Keep the ticket until you leave the stationOn the FL lines, inspectors check on board. Keep the ticket until you exit the station and show it with a photo ID.

Operating hours（Limited）Metromare and the urban Roma-Viterbo line are running shortened evenings because of infrastructure renewal works. On Metromare the last departures from both C. Colombo and Porta San Paolo are at 22:30 Monday to Friday, followed by replacement buses (22:45 and 00:15 from Porta San Paolo, 23:30 from C. Colombo). On the urban Roma-Viterbo section the last trains leave Flaminio at 22:00 and Montebello at 22:10 (notice posted December 2024, end date still undefined). Trenitalia's FL lines differ line by line, so no rounded service span is given here - there is no single official source for it. Termini-Centocelle stopped running in March 2026 and will not return to service.
Heads-up
-
Trains will not return to the Centocelle line
Trains will not return to ATAC's Termini-Centocelle line. It stopped after two trains sideswiped each other on a single-track section on 4 March 2026, and in April the city's mobility councillor said the service would not resume. The route is to become the Termini-Tor Vergata tram; for now bus 105 covers the same corridor.
-
E-scooter rules flip depending on who runs the train
You cannot take your own e-scooter onto Metromare or the Roma-Viterbo line (both run by Cotral); the same goes for e-bikes. Trenitalia's regional trains, by contrast, carry them free if they are folded and switched off (up to 80x120x45 cm). The rule flips depending on who runs the train.
-
You cannot buy on board at Rome's main stations
You cannot buy a ticket on board when you start from one of Rome's main stations. Termini, Tiburtina, Ostiense, Trastevere and S. Pietro are listed as no-onboard-sales stations, and boarding without a ticket is treated as fare evasion even if you tell the conductor.
