Like in London, subway tickets must now be validated when leaving stations. .:.The new rule is enforced gradually. It does not apply always or everywhere yet. .:.Keep your ticket at hand anyway, as you are increasingly likely to be stuck in the station, if you can't prove you bought a regular ticket.Milan boasts long experience
of public transport: its first street cars date back to 1841. Today,
the wide assortment of trams, buses, trolley-buses and the three lines
of the subway makes it easy to get to almost every corner of town.
The Fiera
Milano City, for instance, is on the red subway line 1 (direction
Rho Fiera, Amendola Fiera stop).
.:.Tickets (
Euro 1.50 from September 1, 2011)
are not on sale on vehicles: you can buy them at most newsstands and
in some bars, or from ticket vending machines in subway stations. You can use a ticket for
90 minutes
on as
many trams and buses as you like, but only once on the subway. .:. Tickets to reach some suburban subway stations (Rho and Rho Fiera, Sesto San Giovanni, the two stops for Milanofiori Assago, the three ones in Cologno, and towards Gessate beyond Cascina Gobba) are more expensive.
.:.Special daily (24 hours, Euro
4.50) and two-day tickets (48 hours, Euro
8.25) are on
sale at subway newsstands. Prices of all types of tickets are on the ATM official website.
.:. Public
transport information is available from the ATM office
in the Duomo subway station (Mon through Sat 7:45am-8:15pm), at the
phone (Toll Free 800-808181, every day 7:30am-7:30pm) or at the ATM official website.
