As summer approaches, the city of Trieste is gearing up for a seasonal shift in public transportation. Beginning Sunday, June 8, a revamped summer schedule will take effect, bringing significant updates across several lines. The changes include expanded routes, increased service frequency, and the return of beach connections long popular with sun-seeking residents and tourists alike.
Here’s a closer look at the most notable changes, line by line:
Line 41: Now Serving Borgo San Sergio and Valmaura
Line 41 will see a substantial route expansion, now reaching the residential areas of Borgo San Sergio and Valmaura. Traditionally serving Dolina, Bagnoli, Sant’Antonio in Bosco, San Giuseppe, and Domio, the new route will extend along Via Flavia, thread through the inner streets of Borgo San Sergio, and loop back to Via Flavia to reach its new terminus in Valmaura—conveniently located near the stadium and Line 10 stop.
On weekdays, select trips will continue past Valmaura to Trieste’s central Piazza della Libertà. On Sundays and public holidays, however, the line will terminate at Valmaura, skipping both Borgo San Sergio and downtown extensions.
Line 40: Daily Service Extended to Weekends and Holidays
Responding to growing demand, Line 40—linking Dolina to the central train station—will now run every day of the week, including Sundays and holidays. The move is designed to improve weekend mobility for commuters and leisure travelers alike.
Line 2/: Retired as Opicina Tram Returns
With the historic Opicina tram (Line 2) returning to service after a long hiatus, its replacement bus route, Line 2/, will be officially discontinued. The beloved tram, an icon of Trieste’s public transport network, resumes its journey through the hills, promising scenic commutes once again.
Line 64: More Trips, Weekend Boost
To strengthen links between Trieste and the upland district of Opicina, Line 64 will be reinforced with 14 additional daily runs. On weekdays, the extension toward Fernetti will operate during morning hours only, optimizing service for commuters heading out early.
The revamped summer schedule also reintroduces seasonal lines connecting the city center with its beloved coastal destinations, a nod to the region’s tradition of integrating transport with leisure. Transit officials emphasized that the changes aim to provide more reliable, accessible, and user-friendly service throughout the warmer months.
