Cagliari Sardinia, Italy Travel Guide
Cagliari's public transportation mainly operates through CTM (Consorzio Trasporti e Mobilità). The structure relies heavily on an extensive bus network. A tram/tram system, Metrocagliari, connects areas outside the immediate city center to university and hospital campuses. The tram receives less tourist employ for central city movement.
Route Maps & Hubs: The bus system covers the entire city and applies to areas like Poetto Beach, Quartu Sant'Elena, and Elmas (the airport). Key centers include Piazza Matteotti, Via Roma, and Piazza Yenne. Metrocagliari runs from Piazza Repubblica to Monserrato and Settimo San Pietro. Maps are available at CTM points of sale, tourist offices, and digitally.
Usually from early morning (5:00 AM) until late evening (11:00 PM). Some night lines on weekends.
10-15 minutes on major routes, 30-60 minutes on not as busy lines.
