The Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT) is a public benefit corporation responsible for public transportation in the provinces of Alessandria, Cuneo, Asti and the Metropolitan City of Turin. It was created in 2003 from the merge of ATM (Azienda Torinese Mobilità) and SATTI (Società Torinese Trasporti Intercomunali). GTT is now wholly owned by the Turin City Hall.
GTT manages the urban and suburban public transport (the Turin tram system, with 10 lines and bus network of about 120 lines), the Turin Metro. The Turin metropolitan area is also served by about 70 extra-urban bus lines, reaching 220 different municipalities (comuni). GTT also manages minor services, such as the Sassi-Superga historical tramway, the Mole Antonelliana elevator, the City Sightseeing and also the touristic navigation on Po River.
GTT owns ten tramway routes, one of which being the Sassi-Superga tramway. The historic route 7 where only heritage trams are operated by the Associazione Torinese Tram Storici, is not operated by GTT.[1] The routes are:
- 3 Piazzale Vallette-Piazza Hermada
- 4 Via delle Querce-Strada del Drosso
- 7 Piazza Castello (circular route-historic)
- 9 Piazza Stampalia-Corso d'Azeglio
