It looks like your best bet would be a “cumulative” ticket that includes both the city center (Urban Ticket) plus one zone (which is how Assago is categorizes – a +1 zone outside the city center). A U+1 ticket costs 2.50euro and is valid for 105 minutes from stamping:

There are also one-day passes you can get, if you’re going to be making that journey several times within 24 hours. Assago is categorized as a “Small Area,” so a 24-hour ticket would cost 5.70euro.

I can’t find any description on the ATM site of how large a piece of luggage has to be in order to require a ticket, only that a luggage ticket costs 1.50euro. If you’re in doubt, you can go ahead and buy the ticket – or ask at a ticket window (when they’re open) at a station.

Hi Jessica,
during my stay in Milan ( from Friday to Sunday ), I will be using metro line M2 – from station called Assago Milanofiori Forum to station Centrale. I noticed that between M2 stations Famagosta and Assago Milanofiori Forum, there is “Urban Fare Limit”. What kind of tickets will I need?
And do you know for what size of luggage is neccessary to have a ticket?
Thank you,
Darina

Hi Jessica,
Thank you for sharing all these tips! I need to get to the San Siro stadium next week. I will be driving from Lugano (CH) and I plan to leave the car at a park&ride parking lot and taking the subway to the stadium. Where would you recommend that I park? Thank you,
Petra

I’ve updated this post to include some train frequency information at the top now, Martin. I don’t have specific travel times, but you can check the frequency timetable on the official ATM site (it varies depending on the time of day, time of year, etc.) here:

http://www.atm-mi.it/en/ViaggiaConNoi/Pages/timetable_calendar.aspx

Rogoredo is on the M3 (yellow) line, as is Centrale, and the frequency of those trains looks like it varies from every 3-7 minutes, depending on the season/time. You can plot out a route on the Giromilano page of the ATM site, which may give you some idea of how long it should take:

No, you won’t need a separate ticket for your small bag.

Hi..

I will be carrying a small sized suitcase (carry on) with me. Does it need a separate ticket for using the Milan Metro?

I haven’t visited every Metro station, but most of them either have escalators or elevators (although the elevators are sometimes more hidden).
