What you get

Two lines on one ticket Integrated with Omnia + Roma Cristiana network Free WiFi on board Live bus tracker (QR code at every stop)

Best for

Travellers who want the broadest stop network in Rome under one ticket — 20 stops across two lines, useful if you want to mix the icons with the off-postcard corners (Largo Argentina, Villa Borghese, San Giovanni in Laterano).

Honest heads-up

As of mid-2026, four stops are temporarily closed due to ongoing Rome roadworks — Piazza dei Cinquecento, Colosseo, Piazza Navona and Vaticano. The official map suggests fallback stops (Circo Massimo for the Colosseo area). Check the operator's live status before you board.
