Buy before you board and it is EUR 6.00; from the driver it is EUR 6.50. A ticket bought ahead is valid on any run that day if there is a seat, and gives priority over walk-ups.

The last three runs, at 00:05, 00:35 and 01:05, are timed loosely to the late arrivals. Be at the stand ten minutes before the printed time.

Politeama is about 40 minutes out, the station 50. Ten stops along Via Libertà come first; if your hotel is in the north of the city, get off there rather than riding to the station.

The old town along Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the EUR 44 zone; the station and Brancaccio are EUR 50; Viale Lazio and the northern districts EUR 39. Say the address before you set off so the driver names the zone.

Eight of you pay EUR 50 here against EUR 54.40 on the train, but the coach is still cheaper at EUR 48 bought ahead.

Taxi sharing from two marked stands outside arrivals is EUR 10 a head, and only runs once four passengers are aboard; alone or as a pair it is not on offer.

Between the 01:05 coach and the 05:05 coach this is the only way into the city.
