From 1 July, bus fares in Rome are likely to rise, from €1.5 to €2 per ride.
Italy's Tgcom24 network reported that the public transport department in Rome is now planning to adjust fares. It is expected that new fares will be introduced for bus and metro services from 1 July, with the price of a single bus (100-minute ticket) increasing from 1.5 euros to 2 euros.

At the same time, the 24-hour ticket has increased from the current 7 euros to 9.3 euros, the 48-hour ticket from 12.5 euros to 16.7 euros, the 72-hour ticket from 18 to 24 euros, and the weekly ticket from 24 to 32 euros.
However, the price of a regular monthly pass remains unchanged at 35 euros, which is only 3 euros more expensive than the adjusted weekly pass. The price of an ordinary annual pass has been reduced from €250 to €240.

In fact, in 2022, Lazio had intended to increase public transport fares, but the regional government has repeatedly avoided them through economic interventions.
According to the report, although the new fare system is planned to be implemented from July 1, it is likely to be further delayed to September or October to allow the system to be upgraded.

In addition, the Rome bus company recently unveiled plans to renovate the metro in anticipation of the Catholic Jubilee in 2025. Tens of millions of tourists are expected to flock to Rome next year, and bus fares are expected to be officially raised.
