FR1 and FM1 share the same route in the city, but the FM (M=Metropolitano) trains stop at Tiburtina and then go back to FCO airport, while the FR1 trains get the north of the Region (R=Regionale).

Here you can see a simplified PDF map of the train routes - overground & underground - in the city:

Hi Alice11, thanks for all your very helpful posts.

I'm confused about the FR1 and FM1 and whether you can use a BIT, BIG, BTI or CIS ticket for it.

I'd like to take the train from FCO to Ostiense Station and I see here that the fare would be €8.

But I also see that for the Metrebus System in Rome that the 4 different tickets are valid
- on Met.Ro regional trains: Rome-Lido, Rome-Viterbo, Rome-Pantano
- on Trenitalia regional trains (travelling second class)
[I can't seem to link the English page directly, but you can maneuver this page to show the English]

So firstly, is the FCO-Ostiense train the FM1 or the FR1? And is it considered a "Trenitalia regional train" that would be eligible for a BIT, BIG, BTI, CIS ticket?

Grazie in anticipo.
