I recall reading something about bus passes in Rome which were easy to use and economical. I don't recall the site for information. Something like roma pass??

Have a look at this previous thread about the Rome Pass

Day ticket for all buses and subway is 4 euro.

Sorry, I don't quite know how that wrong link came up, this should be the correct one...

The weekly bus/metro pass for Rome is 16E/$19 and a great value if you expect to use public transit every day. You buy it at tabacs/newsstands and validate it on your first ride; it will be good for unlimited travel on buses, subway, trams, and commuter trains until midnight on the seventh day (e.g., if you validate at 6pm Tuesday you have only 6.25 days of use, til 11:59pm the next Monday.)

Also take a look at this
