Italian public transport fare and service adjustments

Overview

Local administrations in various Italian regions are implementing measures to manage public transport costs and service levels amidst regional inflation adjustments.

In Lombardy, municipalities such as Carmagnola and Saronno have moved to freeze urban transport tariffs for the 2026-2027 period. These decisions bypass proposed inflation-based increases by using municipal resources to cover deficits. While most of the STIBM area, including Milan, will see no price changes, other municipalities like Legnano and Rho are implementing partial freezes specifically for annual subscriptions to support daily commuters.

In contrast to the fare freezes in Lombardy, the Genoa region is facing service reductions. The AMT winter schedule for 2026/2027 indicates that while fares remain at previous levels, weekday trips are expected to decrease by 18%, with over 20 lines being eliminated or significantly reduced.
