Rome public transport from Piramide: a practical guide

Piramide, Porta San Paolo and Roma Ostiense are three nearby transport points, but they serve different networks. Piramide, Porta San Paolo and Roma Ostiense are all in the surrounding area.

Piramide serves Metro line B. At Porta San Paolo, you can connect with the Roma-Lido railway, also called Metromare. Roma Ostiense is a separate railway station nearby. For a day that combines the station area with local sights, the Ostiense sights near Hotel Pyramid guide covers places such as the Pyramid of Cestius and Centrale Montemartini.

The area also offers a bus connection: line 96 links Corviale, Piramide/Metro B and Roma Ostiense station at Piazzale dei Partigiani. Its route replaced bus line 718, so use current service information when planning around it.

Choose Metro line B for metro journeys from Piramide, Metromare for its Roma-Lido connection at Porta San Paolo, and buses for destinations served by the surface network. These services are not interchangeable, so check the line and destination for each leg.

Bus 96 connects Piramide/Metro B with Roma Ostiense and Corviale. On weekdays and Saturdays, its first departures from both termini are at 05:28 and its last departures are at 00:00. Service hours and routes can change, so check the official site before you go.
