How to Get Around in Milan: Milan Public Transportation 101

  • Suburban Rail – At some underground stations, you’ll see blue signs with a green S on them. These are suburban rail lines (the S lines), and although they do serve some of the same places as the regular Metro lines they also go beyond the Metro network in some cases and serve some areas the Metro does not. On a Metro map, the S line is a blue line, and as long as you’re staying within the main part of the city it uses the same ticket as a regular Metro trip.

    The official ATM website has an extensive English version, so you should be able to find out the answers to most of your questions on the site. Also note that there’s a very cool route planner on the ATM site, where you can enter your starting and ending addresses and the site will generate a transportation map for you to follow. If you know what time you’ll be departing, it will even tell you roughly how long you’ll wait for the next Metro/tram/bus.
