MEANS OF TRANSPORT IN MILAN
Because of its central position with respect to the main European communication roads, Milan has developed an enviable transportation network that has placed it at the heart of continental commercial routes. Milan's airports assure hundreds of daily connections to the rest of Italy and the world.
Malpensa airport has become an important hub that sees hundreds of departures and arrivals daily. The city airport of Linate is mainly used for Milan-Rome shuttle flights, but also provides dozens of other mainly national connections. This is the airport that sees the transit of thousands of businessmen, contributing to the greatness of the Milan’s system with their work. Lastly, Orio al Serio airport hosts low cost and charter flights to dozens of European capitals and tourist destinations. Milan's airport system is a business that moves 364,000 flights per year, 28 million passengers and 309,000 tons of goods.
Under the planes which daily crisscross Milan's skies, a close-knit transport system on the ground moves on rail track and road. Milan's commuter and tourist movement is served by six important stations that sort the arrival and departure of millions of travellers every day: five Ferrovie dello Stato (State railway) stations (Centrale, Garibaldi, Lambrate, Rogoredo and Porta Genova) , and one Ferrovie Nord station, Cadorna, which also connects Malpensa airport with a direct shuttle service. Today, thanks to the new Passante Ferroviario railway link, many regional and suburban railway lines also fortify the city's great urban transport system that, besides trains, has more than 3,000 buses, streetcars, trolleybuses and 'radiobuses' (buses you can book by phone) covering a large variety of routes, plus three metro lines (soon to become four) that are in constant expansion.
Milan, as we know, is a dynamic city which never stops and therefore needs great "wings", long tracks and fast public wheels to decrease the use of private cars and help solve the traffic problem which is, unfortunately, one of Milan's trademarks and a cross it has to bear.
