Rome, a city brimming with history and charm, has also embraced modernity in its public transportation system. The Tap & Go system, introduced by ATAC (Azienda per i Trasporti Autoferrotranviari del Comune di Roma), is revolutionizing the way locals and tourists navigate the Eternal City. In this article, we’ll delve into what Tap & Go is and how this innovative system works, making your Roman adventures even more convenient.
Understanding Tap & Go:
The Tap & Go system is a contactless payment method designed to streamline access to Rome’s public transportation network. It eliminates the need for traditional paper tickets and allows users to simply “tap” their contactless cards or mobile devices to access buses, trams, and the metro.
How it Works:
If you have a contactless credit/debit card (identifiable by the contactless symbol), bring it close to one of the readers with the Tap & Go logo found on all surface lines of ATAC, including Rome Tpl buses, on the turnstiles of all metro stations on lines A, B/B1, C, and on the Rome-Lido, Rome-Viterbo, Termini-Centocelle railways, and on board all Termini-Centocelle line vehicles.
On buses, trams, and trolleybuses, wait for the green light on the screen. In the metro, wait for the green light on the screen and the subsequent unlocking of the turnstile.
