From Naples to Pompeii by bus
You can take a public bus from Naples to Pompeii for an economical option. Usually, there are numerous daily trips, but this isn't always the case, so check the ticket pricing before you plan your transportation.
If you want to use a public bus, the SITA bus line 5001 or the Ente Autonomo Volturno (EAV) line 001 can take you from Naples to Pompeii in about 30 to 40 minutes. On average, tickets cost between two and five euros but can be more or less expensive depending on when you choose to travel. The main drawback of the bus is they get very hot and crowded, especially in the summer.
