Public transportation in Milan
The Azienda Trasporti Milanesi operates within the metropolitan area, managing a public transport network consisting of three metropolitan railway lines and 120 tram, trolley-bus and bus lines. Overall the network covers nearly 1400 kms reaching 86 municipalities. Besides public transport, ATM manages the interchange parking lots and the on-street parking spaces in the historical centre and in the commercial zones using the SostaMilano parking card system.
Timetables and line routes are shown at all ATM stops. In the metropolitan railway stations, panels have been installed showing passengers the destination and the waiting time for the next train.

The same information will be given at the main stops on the surface, where electronic indicators are being tested.
In the Milan area an integrated fare system called SITAM (Sistema Integrato Tariffario Area Milanese - Milan Area Integrated Fare System) enables users to travel with a single ticket or pass on all urban and suburban ATM lines, the interurban routes run by other transport authorities and some sections of the State Railways and Nothern Railways.
The SITAM, adopted by ATM in 1970, was extended to the lines managed by other companies in 1990 according to the Regional Law 44/89. ATM offers various kinds of tickets and passes, designed to satisfy the specific requirements of principal passenger groups (students, workers, tourists, the elderly, occasional users).
The city of Milan has entrusted ATM with the management of the interconnection parking-lots (capacity 14,000 cars) and parking areas in the centre of the town and in several commercial zones, through the SostaMilano system. ATM, thus increases its role in the mobility field by assisting in traffic restriction and regulation.
