Tickets and rights
- Ticket: we found no automatic refund rule for ATAC tickets during strikes; keep the receipt.
- Passes: ask ATAC directly whether a refund or extension is planned.
- If you have a flight or a train: choose times inside the guaranteed bands and read the pages on train and air strikes.
What to do in Rome during an ATAC strike
The historic centre is best seen on foot: the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain and Piazza di Spagna are less than two kilometres from each other. A guided walking tour removes the transport problem: start from a meeting point you can reach on foot. For the full list of dates read the 30 October general strike and Strikes in Rome; to get around, transport in Rome and Rome taxis; for routes, walks in Rome.
What to do safely during the transport strike
