Turin Getting there & around

Getting around

Public transport

The city boasts a dense network of buses, trams and a cable car run by Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT; 800 01 91 52; www.gtt.to.it in Italian) , which has an information office (7am-9pm) at Stazione Porta Nuova. Buses and trams run from 6am to midnight and tickets cost €0.90 (€12.50 for a 15-ticket carnet, €3 for a one-day pass).

Turin’s single-line metro runs from suburban Collegno to Stazione Porta Susa, meaning most tourists are unlikely to find it useful, but work is under way to extend it to Stazione Porta Nuova and Lingotto. Ultimately, the line will extend west to the outlying town of Rivoli. See www.metrotorino.it for progress reports.
