Metromare

Metro Mare

METROMARE TIMETABLE

every day, every 15 or 30 minutes

23 minutes from Rimini to Riccione (and vice versa) and pick-up and drop-off at 15 intermediate stations.


Metromare, for a more sustainable mobility system. Fast, reliable, eco-friendly, safe, hi-tech and silent, connecting places, people and ideas. Connecting the Riviera to the world.

Metromare is the new public transport system that connects Rimini and Riccione. It is a key strategic project that will help to redesign mobility on our territory.
This will enable us to adopt new habits that integrate how we use traditional means of transport – bicycles, cars, buses – with alternative systems, like car or scooter sharing, public transport interchange hubs and bicycle and pedestrian paths.

Metromare is a central piece of this new mosaic. It is eco-friendly, quick, safe and hi-tech.

Road buses with low environmental impact – soon to be fully electric – will take passengers from Rimini to Riccione and back again in just a few minutes, passing through 15 intermediate stations, new poles of attraction. Just like on overground metro, with frequent and reliable connections.

By using Metromare you’ll help to redevelop the urban fabric, improve the quality of life and help everything around you breathe better.
