Worth knowing
Every 25 minutes early and late, every 18 in the day, the same on Sundays and holidays. Nothing runs between 00:30 and 04:40.
Only the EUR 4.00 Alibus ticket is valid: the EUR 1.40 city ticket, the day ticket and the metro tickets are not, and a ticket bought on another AMTS bus costs EUR 4.60.
On board it is by card from the crew's device; the machines at the airport take coins and cards. Validate a paper or app ticket when you board.
The early-morning and late-evening runs take the outer road instead of the port and are quicker; the daytime ones go through the port.
