Public Transport  Tramways, Subways etc
Milan boasts long experience of public transport: its first street cars date back to 1841, its first subway line to 1964. Today, the wide assortment of trams, buses, trolley-buses and the four 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, Lotto stop).

.:. Tickets (Euro 2.20 for most of the city territory 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. Outside the city limits prices increase, according to a system based on metropolitan areas.

.:.  Information on the areas in the metropolitan system can be found in a different webpage.

.:. You can use a ticket for 90 minutes on as many trams, buses and subway lines as you like.

.:. Special daily (24 hours) and three-day tickets are also on sale.
