Civitavecchia Port Shuttle and Bus

Civitavecchia Port Bus Routes

Although they aren’t the most convenient transit option, as rides can be time-consuming during peak hours, Civitavecchia port buses are valued by the port’s passengers, especially by those traveling on a budget. Indeed, buses from Rome Port are an affordable way to reach your destination in Rome. Overall, COTRAL Buses and SIT Shuttles connect the Port of Rome to the Eternal City, providing links to the city of Civitavecchia as well. The regional COTRAL Buses make a lot of intermediate stops, connecting the port to several areas along the way. That’s the reason why their routes are long. On the other hand, the SIT Civitavecchia port shuttles offer more direct services.

The COTRAL Rome Port Buses

The regional COTRAL Buses offer cheap connections from Port of Rome to Roma Cornelia, the station serving Rome Metro Line A. Buses depart from the bus stop lying within a 10-minute walk from Fortezza. The bus stop is called “Porto Nord /via Roma”. Passengers can reach Fortezza via the free port bus that operates at a 15-20-minute frequency approximately from 05:30 am to midnight (depending on the time of the year, the last route varies between 11:00 pm and 01:00 am).

COTRAL Buses run from Porto Nord /via Roma to Roma Cornelia from 05:04 am to 09:13 pm. They operate every 40-50 minutes. However, depending on the time of the day, you may have to wait up to 120 minutes (2 hours) for the next route. The Civitavecchia port buses have approximately the same timetable during weekdays and Saturdays. However, on Sundays, they run once a day, at 06:00 am. Overall, they take around 100-110 minutes to reach their terminus (Roma Cornelia).

A one-way ticket from Civitavecchia Port to Rome costs €3,90/$4,36. Tickets can be purchased from tobacco and convenience stores. Please keep in mind that you’ll have to validate the ticket once you enter the bus. Alternatively, you can buy a bus ticket onboard. Nevertheless, in that case, you’ll pay €7/$7,82. Only cash payments are accepted. In any case, children up to 1 meter tall travel for free.

The SIT Civitavecchia Port Shuttle Buses

Besides the cheap but time-consuming COTRAL Buses, SIT Shuttle Buses also provide connections from the Port of Rome to the Italian capital. Their bus stop is also to be found at Largo della Pace. Therefore, ferry passengers can walk their way (for 12 minutes) from the ADM Ferry Terminal or use the free ordinary port shuttle. SIT Buses depart once a day to Rome. Indeed, they run from the Civitavecchia port bus stop at 09:30 am and make two stops on their way. The first stop is at Via Crescenzio (close to the Vatican City) and the second at Termini Train Station. Overall, they reach Via Crescenzio in about 1.5 hours, while the duration of their journey to Termini Station is slightly longer (105 minutes).

The public SIT Shuttles are modern and comfortable. Furthermore, they offer Wi-Fi and are equipped with USB charging points. Their tickets for a one-way ride to Rome cost €15/$16,76, while round trips are priced at €25/$27,93. They are available online. Alternatively, passengers can buy their tickets onboard (from the driver), or from the company’s ground staff at the bus stop. Cash and card payments are equally accepted. However, tickets bought on the spot are €2/$2,23 pricier. In any case, children up to 3 years of age travel for free.
