This non-stop train runs every 30 minutes taking around 30 minutes for the entire journey.Overview Of Fiumicino Airport Bus Services To Rome City Centre
The rail terminus in Rome is Termini Station, the main public transport hub for Rome and also a major accommodation district.
In the last couple of years, much cheaper budget bus alternatives to the train have appeared. With fares well below that of the Leonardo Express they have quickly become very popular.
The most popular measured by passengers carried is the Terravision airport bus service, but at the moment there are four services competing against each other offering services to Rome City Centre.
Just like the train, the main terminus for the bus services in Rome City Centre is Termini Station, the main transport hub for Rome where the main train and local bus stations are situated above the hub of the Rome Metro system. However some services offer interim stops while others go direct non-stop to Termini Station.

The buses are well signed by the airport authority and Terravision also supplement this with their own advertising banners scattered around the terminals.
Calling the series of bus bays a bus station is a bit wide of the mark. There are no facilities here as yet, just a series of bus bays where different companies have been allocated a bus bay for their service.
It is here that all the charter buses load their passengers too.
As said before there are no facilities, not even seats, if you need toilets or something to eat you need to go back into the passenger terminals. The area is undercover though.
