How do you get around by public transport on the Amalfi Coast?

One of the first questions that arises is: how do you get around among these dreamy places? Well, a very important first piece of information is this: the Amalfi Coast, with its peculiar topography and panoramic roads that take your breath away (sometimes even literally!), does not have a railway line that directly connects its municipalities. But no need to fear, because you can rely on the SITA service, which will accompany you to discover every nook and cranny.

The timetable you have in your hands (or on your screen) is your treasure map on wheels: it is she who will reveal the secrets to moving nimbly between one town and another, and to reaching the gateways to the Coast such as Salerno, Sorrento and even bustling Naples.

Now, we know that at first glance this table might seem like a puzzle to those who are not locals. All those acronyms, those letters… don’t panic! We are here to decipher them together, like true guides ready to reveal every detail to you.

How do you read the legend?

✅​ G for Giornaliero: your lifeline, the trusted friend who is always there. A ride marked ‘G’ is available every day, be it a weekday or a quiet sunny Sunday. In short, you can count on her any day of your stay.

✅​ S for Scholastic: Ah, the ‘S’ rides! These are dedicated to our young students on their way to school. In this case, be careful: consider that at peak school times (generally between 7 and 8 am and then again between 12.30 and 2 pm), these buses might be a bit more crowded than usual. If you can, try to avoid these time slots for a more comfortable and relaxed journey.

✅​ F for Weekdays: The ‘F’ routes operate from Monday to Saturday. If your journey takes place mainly on working days, rely on them.

✅​ H for Festive: The ‘H’ stands for rides that will accompany you on Sundays and other public holidays. Keep in mind that, as is often the case, the service may be slightly reduced compared to weekdays, so we recommend that you always take an extra look at the table!

✅​ L for Working: Similar to ‘F’, the ‘L’ specifies the trips available on working days, but generally refers to the period from Monday to Friday.

Faq – Frequently Asked Questions

No, unfortunately there isn’t a train line that directly connects the picturesque towns along the Amalfi Coast. The only way to travel by land between the various towns — and to reach Salerno, Sorrento, and Naples — is by using the SITA bus service.

Absolutely! From March to November (typically), there’s also a convenient and scenic ferry service running along the coast. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline from the sea.

No worries — we’re here to help! Here’s a quick guide to the abbreviations you might see on the timetable:

G (Giornaliero): Runs every day, both weekdays and holidays.

S (Scolastico): Additional service during the school season, mainly to accommodate students (buses can be crowded around 7 – 8 AM and 12:30 – 2 PM).

F (Feriale): Operates on weekdays (Monday through Saturday).

H (Festivo): Runs on Sundays and public holidays — expect a reduced schedule compared to weekdays.

L (Lavorativo): Available on workdays, usually Monday to Friday.

It’s very important to buy your ticket before boarding.

Tickets are not sold on board. You can purchase them at authorized vendors, usually newsstands, bars, and tobacco shops displaying the “Unico” logo. Alternatively, you can buy tickets conveniently through the Unico Campania app on your smartphone.

Yes! Even if you purchase your ticket via the app, you still need to validate (activate) it once you’re on board. The app has a special section for validating your ticket.

Yes, SITA buses generally stop at all designated stops.

To signal that you want to get off, simply press the “stop request” button inside the bus. Usually, the driver will announce the next stop, but if you’re unsure, feel free to ask.

It depends on the route, time of year, and day of the week. On the most popular routes, you can usually expect a bus every 30 minutes to an hour.

Keep in mind that service is often less frequent on Sundays and holidays.

Yes, the coastal road is famous for its sharp curves and switchbacks. It’s stunningly scenic, but it can be tough if you’re prone to motion sickness.

We recommend bringing anti-nausea medication and a few plastic bags, just in case.

Unfortunately, especially during peak tourist season, a bus might already be full when it gets to intermediate stops — and if so, it might not be able to pick up more passengers.

If you’re traveling during busy times, consider using the ferry service as an alternative when available.

SITA buses do not operate late into the night. The last buses usually leave around 10:00–10:30 PM.

If you’re planning a late evening out, be sure to check the specific schedule for your route ahead of time.

If you’re traveling with large or bulky luggage, it’s best to avoid bringing it on the bus, especially when it’s crowded.

Some buses have luggage racks, but space is very limited. We recommend traveling light when using public transport.

If you have a lot of luggage, a taxi or a private transfer might be a better option. The same advice applies if you’re traveling with strollers or prams.

No, there’s no direct bus from Salerno to Positano or Sorrento.

You’ll need to change buses in Amalfi, which is the main transportation hub for the Amalfi Coast. From there, you can catch a connecting bus to Positano, Sorrento, and other destinations.

No, there’s no direct bus between Naples and Positano either.

The most common route is to travel first from Naples to Sorrento (for example, by Circumvesuviana train), and then catch a SITA bus from Sorrento to Positano.

Yes, small pets are allowed on board, but they must be on a leash or in a carrier, and they must wear a muzzle if required.

Guide dogs for the visually impaired are always allowed.

Children aged 0 – 6 years travel free of charge, as long as they do not occupy a separate seat.
