Best way to go places in Rome
I highly recommend that you take the public transportation in Rome for several reasons: a) they are clean, b) the transportation network is excellent, c) very reliable - you don't have to wait for a long time, d) very affordable. Tickets are available at kiosks at the subway, near the tram or bus stops. You can use them for all modes of transport including metro (they run approximately every 7-10 minutes, from 5:30 am until 11.30pm every day), tram and bus (run from 5:30 am till midnight). If you're a short-term visitor, as it takes time to learn the bus lines, better take the metro (there are only 2 lines - A and B and they pass to important places).Speaking of taxis, it is a bit difficult to hail a cab at the street but if you're lucky to get one, be sure to ask to put the meter down.
