Bus Schedules Amalfi – Napoli

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.
