Local buses in Milan

Milan has over 80 local bus lines and a few trolley bus lines (electric buses that run with overhead wires). Since the city’s metro network is so limited, Milan’s urban buses are one of the best ways to get around the city.

Lines

More than 80 bus and trolley bus lines pass through the streets of Milan every day. At night and on the weekend, night buses take over.
