Termini Station: The hub of Rome's transport system can be confusing when you first arrive, but the following explanation of its layout should help you get oriented. Once you have gotten off the train and have walked down the platform, you will reach the main gallery. The exit by platform will take you to the north side of Termini; the exit by platform 22 will take you to the south side of Termini. Continuing away from the platforms past the main gallery, you will reach the main hall. Exiting from the main hall you will find Piazza dei Cinquecento, the largest bus terminal in Rome, and currently the only access to the city's two metro ( subway ) lines, A and B. The night bus to Fiumicino airport stops here as well, although you'll have to look very hard for the sign.

In all major Italian train stations you will find an office dedicated to facilitating train travel for disabled people. Upon request ( which must be made at least 24 hours in advance for italian trains, or 3 working days for international trains ) these centers can organize transportation for disabled people around the train stations of departure and arrival. Other services include wheelchair use, luggage transport, and train information.
