Where the concierge points people first
- Terminal Bus Termini — The big city-bus forecourt on Piazza dei Cinquecento, in front of the railway station. Dozens of ATAC routes start here; intercity coaches, for the most part, do not. (41.9017, 12.4997)
- Fermata ATAC - Tiburtina FS (MB) — The stop outside Tiburtina station, which matters because the coach terminal for FlixBus, Itabus and most other long-distance operators is on the same site. If your ticket says Roma Tiburtina, come here, not to Termini. (41.9098, 12.5299)
- Terminal Bus Ponte Mammolo — A COTRAL regional hub beside the metro B station of the same name. This is where the blue buses to Tivoli leave from. (41.9205, 12.5653)
- Capolinea COTRAL Roma Cornelia — The western COTRAL terminus, at the Cornelia stop on metro A, for regional buses out towards the coast and the lakes north-west of the city, Cerveteri included. (41.9108, 12.4281)
- Capolinea Piazza Venezia — The central knot of city routes, under the Vittoriano. Useful precisely because the metro does not reach the historic centre; half the buses you want pass through here. (41.8949, 12.4816)
- Rome Open Tour Stop - Termini Station — A hop-on hop-off sightseeing stop, not public transport. An ATAC ticket does not work on it and its ticket does not work on ATAC. (41.9008, 12.4994)

The long-distance coaches do not leave from Termini
Rome's buses come in three colours of problem. Orange-and-grey ATAC buses are the city network and take the same time-limited ticket as the metro, bought beforehand at a tabaccheria, newsstand or machine and validated once aboard. Blue COTRAL buses are the regional network for towns in Lazio — Tivoli, the Castelli, the coast — with their own tickets and their own termini at metro stations on the edge of the city. Long-distance coaches to other Italian cities and abroad use the autostazione at Tiburtina. Mixing these up is the classic way to spend an hour on the wrong forecourt.
