Rome’s public transport is managed by a transport agency called ATAC (Azienda per la Mobilità del Comune di Roma). It is responsible for planning, controlling and organising transport in the city. ATAC is also responsible for selling tickets and maintaining the ticketing system.

Please note that Rome has many historic buildings which, in some cases, may restrict movement in certain areas. For example, there are traffic restrictions around the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, and these areas are mainly closed to vehicles. However, they are pedestrian and cycling areas. It is important to note that historic centres can be cramped and difficult to navigate for vehicles, so walking, cycling and using public transport are often the preferred ways to explore Rome.
