As I mentioned on the \u201cMilan public transport<\/span><\/a>\u201d page,the Milan public transport network (ATM \u2013 Azienda dei Trasporti Milanesi) is quite well developed, because we have four metro lines, we have plenty of buses, trolleybuses, trams, as well as the regional train (passante ferroviario) which connects Milan with many smaller Lombard towns, and which within the city limits passes underground and is paid as much as a metro ride.<\/p>\n\n With traffic jams that prevail on the streets from early morning to late evening, using public transport seems to be a quite reasonable alternative (not to mention parking difficulties, parking tickets in unauthorized places and the \u201cC\u201d zone!). Therefore, it is worth leaving the car on one from the many large car parks on the outskirts of the city (often at the last metro stations) and change to the metro or bus. <\/p>\n\n However, there is a small \u201cbut\u201d\u2026 In Italy, a very popular activity is to strike! So we often have \u201cSCIOPERO\u201d! Be it public transport, trains, airport staff (what!) and various others. In addition, during rush hours, buses and other means of transport are packed to the very door, and in the summer, during the heat and stuffiness, such a journey is not the most pleasant, especially underground. <\/p>\n\n That\u2019s why it\u2019s worth changing to a bike, and preferably not your own (it\u2019s hard to find a place to park it and there\u2019s no guarantee that you\u2019ll find it after your return \u2013 I personally had three copies stolen during 10 years, including two in the very center<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n One of the more interesting initiatives in the city is BIKE SHARING, and it takes place on a similar basis as in Warsaw or other cities. To use the service you must first register online or at one of the ATM points (metro stations: Duomo (M1-M3), Cadorna (M 1-M2), Loreto (M1-M2), Romolo (M2), Centrale FS (M2-M3), Garibaldi FS (M2) and buy a subscription (annual or occasional): <\/p>\n
