Transport: Milan has an extremely efficient and well-established public transport system, covering nearly 870 miles (1,400km), which is fortunate because the city's roads are congested and local drivers frighteningly reckless. The ATM operates the metro, bus, tram and trolley services, which have the advantage of being integrated. Tickets, which can be bought from tobacconists, coffee bars and vending machines throughout the city, are validated on board and then have a time limit of 75 minutes travel on any of the transport options, or one ride on the metro. One and two-day passes are also available. The city's metro is particularly efficient, inexpensive and user-friendly with three lines. Linea 1, the red line, covers the most important tourist area near the Duomo. Taxis are freely available but require to be hired at marked stands. Expect extra charges for luggage, late-night or Sunday travel.
