BGY → Milan · head to head

ATB line 1orPre-booked private transfer?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Pre-booked private transfer reaches Milano Centrale, where every coach terminates; the ATB line 1 does not. This bus goes to BERGAMO, not to Milan. It is the right answer if Bergamo is where you are going, or if you are connecting to a train — the station is 10 minutes away. It is not a way into Milan.

The ATB line 1 is quicker: 10 min against 55 min. The Pre-booked private transfer varies between 45 and 90 minutes.

ATB line 1: hours not recorded. Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night.

It reaches Bergamo, not Milan. From Bergamo station a Trenord train runs to Milano Centrale, but that is a second ticket and a second leg, and no total for the pair is stated here because neither operator publishes one.

The current timetable is the summer one, in force from 3 August, so the first and last departures change with the season and are not stated here.

ATB's "Family & Friends" fare is urban-zone only and runs on Saturdays and holidays. The airport is three zones, so it does not apply to this journey.

Unlike the official taxi’s regulated flat fare, this price is indicative: the operator sets it, and it moves with vehicle size and luggage. Confirm the total at the time you book.
