THIRTEENTH
EUROPEAN MEETING
ON HYPERTENSION

Milan (Italy), June 13 / 17, 2003

 


HOW TO GET AROUND MILAN


 

Milan boasts the country’s most efficient and best planned public transport network, featuring subway, trolley-buses, trams and buses. 
To use public transport only one ticket is needed, which is valid
for 75 minutes. Special tickets give unlimited use of all public transport for one whole day.

 

Public Transport

The cost of the over-ground and underground transport is the same. Tickets can be bought from news-stands, bars, tobacconists, and from automatic vending machines, but not in buses.
Public transport runs from approximately 6.00 hrs. until 24.00 hrs., and there is a bus service that replaces Line 1 of the Underground at night.

 

Taxis

The taxis in Milan are white, and park in ranks supplied with a telephone (the numbers can be found in the telephone directory under Taxi). 
Taxis can also be called via radiotaxi switchboards on the following numbers: 026767; 028383; 025353; 023100. Because of the frequent changes made to the tariffs, you should read carefully the information shown inside the taxi.

 

Subway

Entrances to subway stations can be recognized by an orange-red sign with MM in white on it - MM stands for Metropolitana Milanese.
The subway has three lines: 

MM1
(red line) - MM2 (green line) - MM3 (yellow line)
