ATAC's Tap&Go lets riders pay fares by tapping a contactless bank card, phone or smartwatch directly at readers, with no separate ticket. Launched with Mastercard on 30 September 2019 across the Rome metro (lines A, B/B1, C) and the Roma-Lido, Roma-Viterbo and Termini-Centocelle urban railways, it was extended to buses and trams from a June 2022 pilot and rolled out across the surface fleet from October 2022. A single tap charges a standard 100-minute fare, with automatic daily best-fare capping.
