Moving Around

The urban bus and trolleybus service is run by Conerobus (Conerobus SpA - Società per la mobilità intercomunale).

Every year Conerobus publishes a timetable and a map of routes. Buses and trolleybuses can be identified by their number and letter; there are two circular bus routes (CD and CS).

Tickets can be bought at Tobacconists' and authorised Newsagents as well as from ticket machines which can be found at main stops. 

Tickets can be bought at the Tobacconist’s and authorised Newsagents as well as from ticket machines which can be found on board. 
Tickets are valid for an hour and a half from the moment they are stamped (price €1.20). The one-way ticket allows you to change buses and routes on the same journey.

Bus passes are available for the whole bus network and are valid for 30 days. In addition, there are some reductions on one-year bus-passes for international students regularly enrolled at the university (not for exchange students).

Links with nearby towns are mostly run by Conerobus and other transport companies.  These buses have letters or numbers displayed and the price of the tickets depends on the length of the journey. The terminal is in Piazza Cavour in Ancona. 

Travelling by train: If you want to travel around Italy the best option is to go by train. The main railway station in Ancona is located in Piazzale Rosselli. There are no cut prices for students but there are other discounts on offer. Both one-way and return tickets are valid for two months after purchase. Tickets need to be validated using the orange machines before leaving. Seat reservations are available for an extra fee, but they are necessary only on a few special express trains, such as the Eurostar train. Free train schedules for the Ancona area can be obtained from the information office at the railway station. A complete train schedule can be bought at the newsagent’s and at the railway station. For more information, contact the information office located in the railway station, travel agencies or call 892021 (Trenitalia call centre).
