What is AmicoBus?
Amicobus is an on-demand service, provided under the Service Agreement between CTM and the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, that complements the ordinary public transport offering. It is dedicated to people with disabilities and features on-board assistants who support passengers exclusively during boarding (assistance getting on board and help fastening the seatbelt) and alighting from the vehicle safely.
The service is guaranteed in the eight municipalities where CTM operates the TPL service: Cagliari, Quartu Sant'Elena, Monserrato, Selargius, Quartucciu, Elmas, Assemini and Decimomannu.
