Public transportation network CTM provides a somewhat efficient and fast service around the city and the suburbs. Buses run roughly from 04:00 to 00:50. Tickets can be bought from CTM Points, newspaper stands and tobacconists, marked with a big black and white T outside the shop. A 90-minute ticket (not valid on Metrocagliari) is €1.20 when purchased in advance or €1.70 on the bus. Have exact change ready when you buy the ticket on board. Other options include a 120-minute ticket (€2), a 1-day ticket (€3), a weekly ticket (€12) and a monthly ticket (€30, over 65 €14), all valid on Metrocagliari too. Tickets must be clipped once on board.
Metrocagliari operates two surface lines from piazza della Repubblica to the Policlinico hospital and from San Gottardo to Settimo San Pietro. A further line from piazza della Repubblica to the train station is scheduled for completion in 2018. Trains run from 06:00 to 22:30. A 90-minute ticket is €1.20, a carnet of 12 90-minute tickets €12. Tickets must be stamped once inside the train. Metrocagliari tickets are not valid on buses.
