Hi all,
I will be traveling to Italy in May (Amalfi Coast and Emilia-Romagna). Very much looking forward to this trip! I have a few questions for the more experienced travelers.
In my previous trips to Italy, I always purchased train tickets at the station; which worked out fine because I utilized Regionale trains. On the day that I travel from Salerno to Bologna, it will be a two-leg trip (with a change in Roma or Napoli). It looks like many of the options include Le Frecce or InterCity trains. So I think I should reserve these tickets in advance. Is that correct? And if I book the tickets in advance (not having done this before), I assume you can swipe your credit card at the self-service kiosk or give your confirmation number at the ticket counter to get the tickets when I get to the Salerno station.....is this correct?
My other question is concerning the Amalfi Coast bus schedule (SITA SUD). The categories on the schedule are:
F - Weekday routes
H - Sundays and Holidays
G - Daily
L - From Monday to Friday
S - School bus
N - Non-school bus
Does the F category include Saturday? Is the G category seven days a week? Can I get on the S (School bus)? I remember riding a couple buses in Umbria that were mostly school kids. I assume this is the same circumstances and I can get on the bus.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
John
