Naples public transport — metro, funiculars, buses, and controlled chaos

Naples has the most complex public transport in Italy. Three separate metro systems, 4 funiculars, a suburban railway, and buses. It’s confusing. It’s also €1.30 per ride.

The systems

Metro Line 1: the main metro, beautiful art stations. Metro Line 2: actually a Trenitalia commuter line. Circumvesuviana: suburban railway to Pompeii/Sorrento (EAV, separate tickets). Cumana: suburban railway to Pozzuoli/Baia. 4 Funiculars: Centrale, Chiaia, Montesanto, Mergellina — connect the waterfront to the Vomero hilltop. Buses (ANM): R-prefix routes are the reliable ones.

Tickets

ANM TIC: €1.30 single (90 min, metro+bus+funicular). Giornaliero: €4.50/day. 3-day TIC3: €11. Buy at tabacchi, metro stations. Campania Artecard: €21/3 days — transport + museum entries (excellent value if visiting Pompeii + Naples museums).

Important

Circumvesuviana has SEPARATE tickets from ANM metro. Buy Circumvesuviana tickets at their ticket windows or machines. The Artecard covers both.
