Italy's bus systems are city-specific and often complex. Most Italian cities have regional and urban bus networks (ATAC in Rome, ATM in Milan, GEST in Florence). Tickets must be bought before boarding at tobacconists (tabaccherie), ticket machines, or phone apps — buying on the bus is not always possible and always more expensive.
