Mobility Plan for the 2025-26 Christmas Holidays
On the occasion of the period traditionally dedicated to Christmas and New Year shopping and festivities, from 6 December 2025 to 6 January 2026 enhancements to the public transport service are planned and—new this year—a special festive season travel pass, the Christmas Mobility Pass, a 15-day ticket allowing free travel on buses, trolleybuses, trams and the metro, as well as free parking in park-and-ride facilities.
On 16 December 2025, the inauguration of the two new Line C metro stations, Colosseo and Porta Metronia, is also scheduled: two “museum-stations” that showcase the archaeological discoveries made during the construction works.
Details below:
CHRISTMAS MOBILITY PASS
It is a digital-only pass costing €10, available for purchase from 6 to 31 December and valid on the following days: 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31 December 2025 and 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 January 2026. It can be used across the entire Atac network and that of the operators Autoservizi Troiani/Tuscia/Atr. To purchase it, access MyAtac—if you are not registered, create an account—and then select the Christmas Mobility Pass 2025/2026 option. After payment, the QR code will be available in your MyAtac area, and must be scanned each time you board a vehicle or enter a station. Alternatively, if you prefer to pay with a debit or credit card, all buses and all metro stations are equipped with Tap&Go readers.
THE METRO NETWORK
On Saturdays, public holidays and New Year’s Eve, an enhanced metro service will be in operation, with increased frequency: 32 extra journeys on Saturdays and 74 additional journeys on Sundays. Service reinforcement is scheduled for 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 20, 21 December 2025 and 3, 4 and 6 January 2026. On New Year’s Eve, the service is reinforced and operating hours are extended.
