From

The bus stop at the terminal

To

Bologna Centrale — direct at night; via Ospedale Maggiore and a change by day

Luggage

An ordinary city bus. TPER's general rule charges a second ticket for bags over 55x40x20 cm; whether it applies on this line is not stated.

Runs

04:20–02:15

Journey

22–34 min

By day you change once. The bus ends at Ospedale Maggiore; bus 81 or 91 takes you the last 13 to 14 minutes to the station on the same ticket. Budget about 32 minutes door to door against the monorail's 7 and a half.

At night it is direct and the monorail is closed. Between midnight and 02:15, and again at 04:20 and 04:50, this bus runs straight to the station in 22 minutes and is the only public transport there is.

It is EUR 2.30 against EUR 12.80. For a family of four that is EUR 9.20 against EUR 51.20.

Traveling in a group, one EUR 19.00 carnet covers ten rides and may be shared — EUR 1.90 a head.

This is TPER's winter timetable, in force until 5 June 2027; the summer sheet will differ.

It is EUR 12.80 for a journey a city bus does for EUR 2.30 — the difference is about 25 minutes and a change.

It is the operator's own "circa 7'30"", not the airport's "7 minuti". Trivial, but the airport rounds in its own favour.

Closed midnight to 05:40. If you land in that window, the bus is direct and the monorail is not a choice.

The return at EUR 23.30 saves EUR 2.30 on two singles — the price of one bus ride.

No pass, tourist card or TPER ticket opens the gates.
