Metro
The subway metro system has only two lines, A (red) and B (blu), which intersect at Termini. In general, the B line is you need to go to the Tiburtina station (with direction Rebibbia) or to the EUR, Colosseum, the Basilica of San Paolo, the FAO and the Circus Maximus, the Colosseum in the othere direction (with direction EUR Fermi or EUR Laurentina). The A line is the one to the Trevi Fountain (Barberini stop), Spanish Steps (Spagna stop), and the Vatican (last stop), all with direction "Ottaviano". Trains run approximately every 6 minutes on line A and every 10 minutes on line B. There are trains from 5.30 AM until 11.30 PM every day. On Saturday the last run begins at midnight from each end.
Buses
Most buses run from 5.30 AM and begin their last run at midnight, but some start later and begin their last run at 10.30 PM. You can check the timetable as well as the itinerary of the buses on the yellow plate at every stop, which is indicated as "FERMATA".
Taxi
Be wary of non-official taxi drivers, especially if you need to go to the airport. Particularly in this case we have experienced that they ask you even more than twice the official price. The official taxies are yellow or white, and have meters.
