Rome is the capital of Italy.

Hitching Out

North towards Firenze, Milano

Take bus 92, 135 from Termini, get out at Salaria, which is right at the entrance of some kind of highway, but people could also be heading to Rieti (check this name), which might turn out not too bad either. Guaka and amylin waited 20 minutes for a ride (which is a lot less than the average waiting time in Italy). Reminder this is NOT a good neighborhood with plenty of prostitutes. Hitching after 10 is not reccommended, nor is girls hitching alone here.

25 Sept 2009: Men picking women up here are likely to ask for sex. Even at the next gas station. Don't be too eager to get in the car here, choose wisely!

South towards Napoli

Take a bus to Tor Vergata, there you can easily find the petrol station.

Public transport

In 2007 there were hardly any checks on tickets in buses. You can even take a bus from Sabaudia (90 kilometers away) without paying a ticket. Until November 2007, when there has been a recent increase in number of officials checking for tickets on buses and trams in Roma. This is said to be a direct result of new systems in the metro requiring less man-power there. Just keep your eyes open, officials are easy to spot and thusly avoid.

In 2009 some people were fined in a tram, were caught while going out. You can buy tickets in bars or in news-stalls.
