APAM provides the public transportation service on the entire territory of the provinces of Mantova through 43 lines, some of which run in the neighbouring areas (Brescia, Verona, Parma and Modena). The buses of Interurban lines are distinguished by their blue color.
APAM organizes the public transport service with 1260 stops strategically distributed, on average 1 km apart near inhabited centres, to guarantee widespread coverage of the territory. Each stop is equipped with a timetable which shows not only the timetables of the lines, but also directions to the nearest point of sale for purchasing tickets. Some stops are equipped with variable message light systems, which provide real-time updates on the waiting times of lines in transit.
Service Days and Calendar
The service is active 360 days a year, with complete suspension on May 1st, December 25th, January 1st, Easter and August 15th.
APAM differentiates the transport plan based on the calendar and seasonal needs:
Weekdays: Monday to Saturday.
Public holidays: Sundays and recognized holidays.
Winter: from January 1st to the end of school and from the beginning of school to December 31st.
Summer: from the end of school to the start of the new school year.
During the year there are "non-school" days in which the service follows a reduced calendar, defined by the Lombardy Region.
Additional Races
In the winter period, during peak hours, some additional trips, identified by a special note "SC" on the timetables, run alongside the regular lines and follow the school calendar, thus responding to the needs of the students.
