Ferrovie regionali del Lazio
Encyclopedia
The system of the Ferrovie Regionali del Lazio (Lazio regional railways) consists of 8 lines operated by Trenitalia
, converging on the city of Rome
.
The lines FR1, FR2, and FR3, particularly in areas closer to Rome, function like a rapid transit
service, integrated with underground
and surface transportation. The other lines (numbered from FR4 to FR8) are served by traditional regional trains, and used almost exclusively for commuter traffic.
All eight lines are considered regional trains by Trenitalia
. On schedules and timetables, the trains are marked with the letter (R).
The numbering of the lines (FR1, FR2, ...) appears only in some informational materials and on the signs of some stations. In the timetables and the departure boards of the stations, there are only the initials R and the number of the line. In Trenitalia timetable appears only the numbering of FR1 and FR3.
However, in the ATAC
network, the numbering of all lines appears in all network maps.
