Don't get stuck! by RebeccaJane
Rome has a decent transportation system with a subway and buses going everywhere, HOWEVER the subway closes really early (like before 10 p.m.) and you cannot get on the buses at night unless you have a bus pass. There is no way to pay for the bus upon jumping on. My friend and I got stuck really far north two nights in a row and had to walk an hour to our hostel. I would suggest buying a two-ride pass or something early in the day so you can cancel it on the machine inside the bus. The bus drivers will not really talk to you.
