Special Christmas Mobility Plan: Free Lines, Enhanced Connections, and a €10 Special Travel Pass

 

This Christmas, ATAC is offering a range of services to make travelling around Rome easier and more convenient for both locals and tourists. The Christmas Mobility Plan includes several initiatives designed to improve accessibility and support holiday travel throughout the holiday season.

Key Highlights:

  • Three Free Bus Lines:
    To help tourists and locals enjoy Rome's main attractions, ATAC will operate three free bus lines connecting popular areas in the city. Every day, until 6 January 2026, two free shuttle bus lines, named Free 1 and Free 2, will connect the two railway stations Ostiense and Termini with the city center from 09:00 until 21:00. The electric bus line 100, running from Porta Pinciana to Piazza Cavour, will be for free as well.
  • 27 Enhanced Connections:
    Many bus and tram routes will be strengthened, ensuring a more frequent service, especially in high-traffic areas. This is ideal for visitors planning to explore the city’s sights, with easier access to both iconic landmarks and hidden gems.
  • €10 Special Travel Pass:
    ATAC is offering a €10 special travel pass that will grant unlimited travel on buses, trams and the metro and park for free in the main park-and-ride car parks on 17 selected days: all Saturdays and public holidays, plus two pre-holiday days 31 Dec and 5 Jan), between 6 December 2025 and 6 January 2026. For further datails, please consult this page. This pass is perfect for tourists looking to get the most out of their visit to Rome, with convenient access to all public transport for a whole day.

This initiative is designed to make exploring the Eternal City more efficient and enjoyable during the busy holiday season, ensuring that tourists can easily reach their destinations and experience the magic of Rome without hassle.
