Metromare Service Reduced for Ten Days in February Due to Works at Porta San Paolo
Rome, February 9, 2026 – Commuters on Rome’s Metromare line face partial service disruptions for ten days in February. Essential renovation works at Porta San Paolo station will lead to a temporary suspension of service between Porta San Paolo and Magliana during daytime hours.
The modifications to the Metromare service, announced by local transport authorities, are aimed at improving safety and comfort for travelers. The works will particularly focus on the Porta San Paolo station, impacting a key segment of the railway link.
When and Where the Trains Will Stop
The service interruptions will occur during the midday period, specifically from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM, on the following dates:
- From Monday, February 9 to Friday, February 13
- From Monday, February 16 to Friday, February 20
During these time slots, train services will not operate between Porta San Paolo and Magliana. Passengers are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid inconvenience.
Regular Service Towards Ostia
Despite the partial closures, there will be no changes to the rest of the Metromare line. Service will continue to run regularly between Magliana and Cristoforo Colombo, adhering to the normal schedule. This ensures that the connection to Ostia and other coastal areas remains unaffected by the ongoing works.
The scheduled interventions include the renovation of the platforms and canopies at Porta San Paolo station. These upgrades are part of a broader effort to modernize the public transport infrastructure in Rome, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the stations.
Alternatives for Passengers
During the hours of interruption, commuters can utilize Rome’s Metro Line B as an alternative solution. Metro Line B connects many of the same urban areas, providing a viable option to bypass the temporarily suspended section of the Metromare. Passengers are encouraged to consult official transport channels for real-time updates and any further operational changes.
Transport authorities urge users to anticipate these changes and to allow for extra travel time. The renovation works, while causing temporary inconvenience, are crucial for the long-term improvement of the Metromare service, ensuring a safer and more efficient commuting experience for all.
The Metromare line, formerly known as the Rome-Lido railway, is a vital transport artery for residents and visitors, connecting the city center to the coastal town of Ostia. Regular maintenance and upgrades are essential to ensure its continued reliability and to meet the growing demands of urban mobility.
This period of reduced service is a necessary step in the ongoing commitment to enhance Rome’s public transportation network, reflecting a proactive approach to infrastructure management and passenger satisfaction. Further details and updates will be provided through official ATAC channels and local news outlets.
