Starting in October 2009, SITBus Shuttle began daily runs from Leonardo Da Vinci Airport (FCO) to two locations in Rome, the Termini Train Station and also Piazza Cavour. SITBus Shuttle has long been a fixture at Aeroporto Ciampino but now they’ve brought a low-price option to FCO!
The buses begin their routes at 5 AM – another plus for us early travelers as the Leonardo Express does not start until 05:52 AM. Currently, there are 33 runs during the day so this service is quite a viable option… and at only €8 a very reasonably priced option. The buses end their run TO the airport about 21:15. Coming from Fiumicino, the buses start at 07:00 and the last bus departs from the airport at 23:30 (The last Leonardo Express does leave at 23:36).
