Fare system
ATB System applies to the Urban Area of Bergamo city and the 29 surrounding municipalities. Find out how to compute your fare.
ATB System
With ATB System, the Urban Area is divided into 20 fare zones, each marked with a numerical code. The city of Bergamo is in the center and is identified by the code 00 - urban zone.
To travel by ATB Consorzio services, you must have a valid travel document suitable for your route.
To compute your fare, you count the number of zones crossed by the route of each line, including the departure and arrival zones. Each zone crossed corresponds to charge increase, while if the route starts or ends at the zone boundary there is no change to the next one. For all trips within a single zone, including urban zone 00, the fare charged is One Zone.
T1 Bergamo - Albino tramway
Nembro and Albino municipalities, with their respective hamlets, are part of ATB System.
To travel by T1 Bergamo - Albino tramway and Arriva Italia routes S30a Albino-Perola and S30c Albino- Vall'Alta- Casale, passengers must therefore use ATB travel documents only.
The rule also applies to passengers from the Extraurban Area (locations outside the Urban Area served by ATB and TEB).
Passengers travelling to/from:
- locations in the Seriana Valley north of Albino
- Pradalunga using the S30d Gazzaniga - Albino - Pradalunga - Alzano Lombardo line.
must indeed use Arriva Italia travel documents.
Such passengers may interchange only at the Alzano Centro stop using the tramway between Alzano Centro and Albino, otherwise they are liable to pay a fine in accordance with current regulations.
Travelling within the Urban and the Suburban Area
Public transport services of Bergamo Province are divided into four areas of responsibility:
- Urban Area (ATB and TEB services)
- Suburban Area ( Bergamo Trasporti EST scarl, Bergamo Trasporti Ovest scarl and Bergamo Trasporti Sud scarl services)
Current fare systems provide integrations for passengers traveling in both areas.
