ESN Milano: Erasmus Student Network

Trasporto Pubblico

Unless you took a car with you from your home country, you will have to deal with the public transportation, which in Milan is managed by ATM. There is a very good subway net, with three lines crossing the whole city and a good amount of buses and trams, which will get you almost anywhere you want. The price for one ticket in the city area is € 1 and it is valid for one trip. There are also a 24h ticket and a "carnet" which is ten tickets for a lower price.

But you are probably more interested in a monthly or even yearly card. The good news are that there are both and they are pretty cheap for students. The monthly ticket costs € 17 every month, plus € 7 the first time for the card and a picture. The cost of a yearly card is about € 160 and it is valit 12 months. (for updated prices check the ATM website ).

To get the annual card, you have to go to one of these offices inside the subway:

• Duomo (MM1 and MM3)
• Loreto (MM1 and MM2)
• Cadorna (MM1 and MM2)
• Centrale (MM2 and MM3)
• Romolo (MM2)

To get the monthly ticket you can go to any newspapers'stand inside the subway stations.

Here you can get a form (there is usually a bounch just ouside them) or sometimes we have some of them at our ESN office. You have just to fill the form and give it to them with a picture and possibly a copy of a certificate saying you are studying at one of the Milan 's University (you can get it at your International Office). You could be asked to show an ID.

What now? The form is all in Italian? Well we are in Italy !

Anyway to make things even easier for you, here you can download a copy of the form with the English translation. You are welcome!
