Tickets are only€1 for a single and must be validated. You can buy these from the Tabacchi's, newspaper stands, and underground stations. There are single, multitrip, one and two day tickets that cover all modes of transport.
Cheap and environmentally friendly, however Milan is a big place so unless you limit your sightseeing to just the centre of town it may pay to invest in a day pass to get around.
