Rome metro and public transport

Rome has a metro system, Metropolitana di Roma. It is a bit old fashioned, many trains are uncomfortable and painted with graffiti, but there are also some more modern ones. The metro system only has 3 lines because the large number of archeological sites make it complicated to build new ones. It opened in 1955 and is Italy's oldest. Rome's public transport also includes buses (looks modern but significant with their black smoke), trolley buses and trams. The trams are modern but are only visible in parts of the historical center, there are also some historical trams visible. The public transport is known to be ineffective and annoying by locals, but it is very cheap compared to Scandinavia. And it is not that bad after all, but you can't pay with cash, you have to buy a card at an automat or a store. But at least they have automats at the bus stops, in contrary to some cities in Sweden for example.
