How the ATM fare works
In the Mi1–Mi3 urban area (Milan city and the surrounding municipalities), the metro has a flat fare: each trip costs €2.20 with an urban ticket, regardless of distance. The ticket is valid for 90 minutes on the metro, buses, trams and urban trains: within those 90 minutes you can make several journeys, including more than one metro entry. With contactless payment (CleSS — card, smartphone, or smartwatch), you pay €2.20 per trip by tapping upon entry and exit, and the total charge for that device never exceeds €7.60 per day. For municipalities outside the city, the fare is zone-based according to the STIBM integrated system (Mi1…Mi9), with a small surcharge for each additional zone.
