Positano to Amalfi by Bus | Hostel Brikette
To travel from Hostel Brikette to Amalfi by bus, reach the SITA Chiesa Nuova / Bar Internazionale area and choose an Amalfi-bound journey that serves both stops in the current timetable. This is the coastal-bus route, distinct from Positano's local Interno service.
Plan the entrance stairs, road approach, queue and onward or return journey together. An early place in the queue does not reserve a seat, and a published arrival time is not a protected connection.

Choose an Amalfi-bound journey
Find Positano (Chiesa Nuova) and Amalfi in the same suitable journey column. Some columns have gaps or different route patterns; do not select a bus by its first departure town alone.
Compare the full door-to-door plan with Positano to Amalfi by ferry if appropriate for your date and bags. A sea journey also needs a pier approach and confirmed operating conditions.
Buy and validate the correct ticket
Arrange the correct route ticket before queuing, through an authorised seller or supported digital channel. Use SITA's purchase and validation guidance; digital tickets require the prescribed check-in. Retain your ticket, and follow its own instructions rather than expecting every driver to stamp or tear it.
Check the 1 October 2026 fare-change notice when comparing old prices. Confirm the single fare for your actual journey; a regional tariff class alone does not establish it. See the SITA ticket guide.
Read the correct direction and day
Open the official SITA timetable catalogue and choose the Amalfi-bound block. At the 25 October 2026 check, entry 5070 was listed through 1 November, with a PDF effective from 14 September. Check for a newer version before a later trip.
Read from Positano (Chiesa Nuova) to Amalfi within one journey column, applying that table's own day legend and notes. Check service notices too, especially for onward Amalfi-area connections; the PDF alone is not the whole service picture.
Find the Chiesa Nuova SITA stop
Use Positano (Chiesa Nuova) near Bar Internazionale on Via Guglielmo Marconi. Confirm your destination and today's boarding position with the driver or authorised seller before crossing or joining a queue.
The local Interno stop at Tabacchi Cafiero on Viale Pasitea is a different service and location. The Chiesa Nuova departure guide explains the distinction.
Walk from Brikette to the stop
Start at Hostel Brikette, Via Guglielmo Marconi 358. Descend the entrance stairs, turn left along the main-road approach and continue toward Bar Internazionale. The approximately 120 m / 390 ft road leg is separate from the entrance stairs.
Use the walking-map reference with current signs and conditions. Allow time for bags, narrow pavement and crossings rather than a fixed three-minute connection.
Confirm Amalfi before boarding
Confirm that the actual bus serves Amalfi and where to queue today. Wait clear of traffic, signal your wish to board from a safe position, let passengers leave first and follow the driver.
Have a fallback for a full or changed bus. Do not rely on a fixed frequency or assume early arrival guarantees a seat. Request your destination stop in good time.
Arriving in Amalfi and continuing
Confirm your service's Amalfi arrival point with SITA. Around the waterfront/Piazza Flavio Gioia area, follow today's signs to the correct onward stand; do not assume Ravello, Salerno and the Positano return use one bay.
For a day trip, check the last usable Amalfi-to-Positano bus before leaving. For Ravello or Salerno, check the separate onward timetable and transfer time rather than assuming every arrival connects.
Check bags and assistance before buying
Check SITA's current baggage rules. At the 25 October 2026 check, non-obstructing hand baggage up to 50 × 30 × 25 cm was free; other bags needed a baggage ticket and suitable space.
Keep aisles and exits clear. If your bag cannot be accepted, allow another departure or a confirmed suitable transfer. For porter help, agree the provider, quote, collection, delivery and timing directly; it is not automatically a hostel-operated or step-free service.
Leaving bags after checkout
For a later departure after checkout, enrol through the guest app under the luggage-storage conditions. The hostel must have received your agreement to the terms and conditions, and storage is subject to availability.
Storage is free until 15:00. If you do not return by then, bags automatically go to the porters, whose service is charged. Leave time to collect or receive your bags before the journey.
Journey time, views and a fallback
Read the scheduled time for your selected journey and add road and queue margin; an old 45–60-minute estimate is not a promise. The coastal road has bends and sea views, but vehicle layout and available seats vary.
If no usable bus remains, check a licensed taxi or transfer for your actual location, quote, bags and destination. Recheck the whole onward plan before committing to a substitute.
FAQs
How much is the Positano–Amalfi bus?
Confirm the current single fare for your actual journey through an authorised channel. On 25 October 2026, SITA listed COSTIERASITA at €10 for 24 hours from first validation on its specified network. It is personal: complete name and birth date. Recheck coverage; local Interno is not automatically included.
Can I rely on buying a ticket from the driver?
Arrange your ticket before queuing. Use an authorised outlet or supported digital channel and follow the actual product's validation requirements. Do not assume onboard sales or seller opening hours without current confirmation.
Which stop should I use from Hostel Brikette?
Use SITA Positano (Chiesa Nuova) near Bar Internazionale, with the entrance stairs plus about 120 m along Via Guglielmo Marconi. Confirm the Amalfi-bound boarding position; Interno at Tabacchi Cafiero is different.
Where do I get off in Amalfi?
Check your selected service's Amalfi arrival point and current signs. Use the waterfront/Piazza Flavio Gioia area as a reference, then confirm the correct stand for any onward or return bus.
How long does the bus take?
Use the selected journey's scheduled departure and arrival, plus margin for traffic, queuing and the hostel approach. No fixed 45–60-minute estimate guarantees a connection.
Can I bring a suitcase?
Check current size, baggage-ticket and available-space conditions before travel. Keep exits clear; a full luggage compartment is not permission to obstruct the passenger area.
Can I use the bus outside summer?
Choose a timetable valid for your actual date and check notices. Do not assume summer frequency, a fixed winter interval or one unchanging last departure.
Is the route scenic?
It follows the coastal road with bends and sea views. Seats and window views depend on the vehicle and availability; treat the scenery as part of the journey rather than a guaranteed seat benefit.
How do I read this journey in the timetable?
Use the Amalfi-bound table. Find Positano (Chiesa Nuova), follow one journey column to Amalfi, and apply that table's day codes, gaps and notes. Letters are not universal journey identifiers across every schedule.
