The FL network, initially made up of two lines and called FM lines (Metropolitan Railways), was formally inaugurated in 1994, following the signing of an agreement between the Lazio Region, the Municipality of Rome, the Province of Rome and Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane to create an integrated transport structure in the Roman metropolitan and regional area.
Lines FL1, FL2 and FL3 function like a rapid transit service, integrated with the Rome Metro and surface transportation. The other lines (numbered from FL4 to FL8) mostly serve the suburban area of Rome and the Lazio region, and used almost exclusively for commuter traffic.
