operates three metro lines. Line 1 (yellow) and
Line 2 (blue) are the most useful. Line 2 runs from Gianturco to Garibaldi (Stazione Cent-
rale) and on to Pozzuoli. Line 1 currently begins at Piazza Bovia (Università), running
north along Via Toledo and on to Vomero and the northern suburbs. Scheduled for com-
pletion in late 2013, its extension will also see stops at Piazza Municipio, Via Duomo and
Stazione Centrale. Before this time, lines 1 and 2 only interchange at Museo (Line 1) / Ca-
vour (Line 2). Tickets (also valid on city buses, funiculars and trams) can be purchased at
kiosks, tobacconists or from automated ticket machines at metro stations.
