Departure bus station: The Tiburtina bus station is located across the street (the Circonvallazione Tiburtina) from the Tiburtina railway station. Walking, the station is about 2.6 miles (4.2 km) from the Colosseum in the center of Rome. The Metro departs from the Colosseum stop about every 6min, and it is a 9min ride to the Tiburtina train station on the blue line (Line B). It is best to arrive at the bus station about 15min early to allow time to find the bus and load your luggage, if needed. Facilities at the station include the bus ticket offices, a few shops and cafes, restrooms and limited parking. Passengers should be aware that this is an open-air station with limited seating and limited protection from the elements.
Arrival bus station: Casello Autostrade Castellammare (Motorway Exit Castellammare) is a bus stop in Pompeii near the Porte di Pompei shopping mall. There is no public transportation available from this bus stop to the closest entrance to the archeological area of Pompei, which is the Porta Marina. The walk to the Porta Marina is about 1.3 miles (2.1 km). Because this bus stop is just a stop along the road (not a bus or train station), there are no facilities at this location. However, the bus stop is in a shopping area, so there are public restrooms, shops and restaurants nearby. The Pompei, Scavi bus stop is located near the Scavi train station, just across the street from the Porta Marina, Archaeological Park Entrance. Because this is simply a bus stop and not a bus station, there are no station facilities at the stop. However, at the Porta Marina there is a visitor information center, restrooms, restaurant, and free luggage storage. Public transportation is not needed to reach the Porta Marina because it is an easy quarter-mile (400 m) walk, which should take about 5min.

Marozzi’s schedule has one Rome to Pompei route per day on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays.
