Rome is fantastic to visit as a tourist. But I've visited for work, and everyone I interacted with drove from home to work, because they didn't live or work in the central old-town tourist areas but out in the CBD and other parts of the city.

Rome is an excellent example of a city with an extensive local rail system that everyone would love to use. Still, disinvestment and lack of organization have made it unreliable and unusable.

Every time I go there, I make a point of using public transport, and it’s maddening how a 20-minute journey by bus becomes hellish because the station was moved, but no one knows why or where or cares.

It doesn’t need more than someone in charge who cares.

I stayed a block from that giant train station thing but I couldn't (be bothered to) figure out how to get to and from the airport, and I had a lot of luggage and that flat-fee taxi is so easy ...
