This is what is left of bus 73. The 73 ran to San Babila and the Duomo until the M4 reached San Babila in July 2023; the 973 was extended from Linate to Cinque Giornate at the end of 2025.

It shares the M4's stop at Stazione Forlanini, so it is also the way to the S lines without going into the metro.

The other direction runs out to San Felicino in Peschiera Borromeo; check the destination on the front before boarding.
