It does not go into the old town. The stops are Piazza Garibaldi, Porta di Massa and Molo Beverello, in that order; for Toledo, the Spanish Quarter or Spaccanapoli you change to Metro Line 1 at Garibaldi, which the EUR 5 integrated ticket covers.

Four of you pay EUR 20 and five pay EUR 25; the fixed taxi fare to the station is EUR 21 and EUR 26. From six people the taxi is cheaper.

ANM's own page says 15 minutes to the station and 35 to the port; ANM's own timetable schedules 18 to 23 and 40 to 50 by day. Plan on the timetable.

If ANM's luggage rule is applied on this bus, a large suitcase needs a second EUR 5 ticket, and with a bag each the taxi wins from three people. The Alibus page does not say either way.

Last bus from the airport is at midnight. The airport itself is closed 22:30 to 03:30 except for delayed flights.

Validate the ticket as you board and keep it; the ordinary EUR 1.30 ticket and every pass are invalid on this bus.

Request the fixed fare before departure and check the meter shows "F0.00"; the driver must issue a receipt first.

From six people this beats the Alibus to the port: EUR 29.00 in a larger taxi against EUR 30.00 in tickets, and it takes you to the pier rather than the bus stop.

No authority publishes a taxi journey time. The figure here is scaled from the Alibus's scheduled 40 to 50 minutes to the port, which stops twice on the way; the taxi does not.

The old town is a cheaper zone. If you are staying in the centro storico rather than by the port, the EUR 21.00 fare applies.
