The Azienda Municipale Trasporti (AMT, the Municipality Transport Company) was founded in 1964 as part of the Town Administration of Catania, with the aim to manage public transportation service. In 2011 the Company has been changed in Azienda Metropolitana Trasporti Catania SpA and the legal form has been changed to a Limited Company, completely owned by the City of Catania.

AMT has about 650 employees (60% drivers, 18% workmen, 12% auxiliaries and 8% clerks). AMT manages 50 bus lines within the town of Catania and bordering municipalities (Aci Castello, S.Pietro Clarenza). The fleet is about 160 buses, 30% of whom based on methane fuel engine. The production is about 8.000.000 km/year, with about 15.000.000 trips.

AMT owns a big bus depot with a workshop equipped with fuel station for diesel and methane and also manages some parking infrastructures: four of these are bordering the city and are used for modal interchange (car/bus), while others are located in the CBD.

AMT is the main company that manages urban transportation in a wide and populous metropolitan area as Catania, that is really affected by traffic congestion due to private vehicles. Moreover, AMT has a complete and fully working system for real-time bus monitoring, and in the last years, it is extending its operating range also to other important services for mobility (e.g. parking areas).
