Ciampino Airport

Getting between Ciampino Airport and Rome, both directions.

Rome has two airports, and at each one the choice is the same: a service that takes the ordinary Metrebus ticket the rest of the city runs on, or a standalone product on a ticket of its own. At Fiumicino the Metrebus one is the FL1 regional line; at Ciampino it is ATAC's bus lines 720 and 520, which end at a metro station rather than in the centre. The Leonardo Express and the private airport coaches sell their own tickets, and a Metrebus ticket or pass will not get you onto any of them.

ATAC line 720 atac.roma.it
How you pay
Pay by contactless onboard, Metrebus Card, paper ticket or app ticket. The operator records more about paying for this one in its own words; its own page has it.
Routes
Ciampino ↔ Roma Laurentina, Metro B
Terminals
Ciampino airport to Roma Laurentina (Metro B terminus) - NOT the city centre; a Metro B ride is required to continue into Rome.
Worth knowing
The visitor-relevant point of this row: line 720 is presumed to run on ATAC's ordinary Metrebus urban-network fare (a standard single BIT-type ticket, not a coach/airport premium) - making it by far the cheapest way from Ciampino into the Metrebus system, IF the rider is prepared to interchange onto Metro B at Laurentina rather than travel directly to the centre.

Serves this terminal directly.

Terminals
Ciampino airport to Roma Cinecitta and Subaugusta (Metro A) - NOT the city centre; a Metro A ride is required to continue into Rome.
Worth knowing
Same reasoning as line 720: presumed ordinary ATAC Metrebus fare, cheapest CIA option in principle, IF the rider interchanges onto Metro A at Cinecitta/Subaugusta rather than travelling directly to the centre.
