Taxi at the fixed fareorBus 16 and bus 50 to the port?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Taxi at the fixed fare reaches Bari Centrale and Bari Vecchia, the old town; the Bus 16 and bus 50 to the port does not. This goes to the port, not to the old town: you change at Bari Centrale onto bus 50, the Circolare Porto.

The Taxi at the fixed fare is quicker: 25 min against 1 h 05. The Bus 16 and bus 50 to the port varies between 50 and 65 minutes.

Taxi at the fixed fare: Runs all night. Bus 16 and bus 50 to the port: 07:15–22:00.

Name the district before you set off: EUR 25 covers the station, Murat, Bari Vecchia and Libertà; Madonnella, Poggiofranco and Carrassi are EUR 28.

The fare holds only for a straight ride. Ask for a stop or a detour and the driver may switch to the meter.

Four fit in an ordinary taxi. Larger cars exist, but five or more should expect two taxis.

After the 00:10 shuttle this is the only way into town until the first train at 05:02.

The cheapest way, and the slowest: about an hour and a quarter with the change.

Bus 50 is a circle: take it from the stop "Bari Centrale (B)" on Piazza Aldo Moro, outside the station, and get off at Terminal Crociere for the cruise ships or Stazione Marittima for the ferries.

Nothing runs on bus 50 before 07:15 or after 22:00; take a taxi then.
