Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Unfortunately, the transport on the Sorrento-Amalfi route is the most difficult with the buses, they are many minutes late, they are few and very crowded, the drivers are very good, but you cannot enjoy the beauty of these places without getting angry because of this..

Buses do not travel by the timetable and average waiting time is 2 hours . If buses were not available we would have known to rent a car but its convinient to keep the inneficient buses to boost the taxi business… so much to supporting sustainable tourism and decreasing emissions

Just awful. I had a baby and waited outside a bus stop in Amalfi and the bus driver sped right past! I assumed I went to an incorrect stop (I hadnt) and went to the next one where I politely asked Italian a bus driver waiting outside his bus where I stand to catch the bus. He pointed to the opposite side of the road and said he'd collect me there. I waited there and he drove off.
For the 3rd bus attempt, I went down the road to the bus station and forced my way on. When I went to come off the bus with my baby in pram, the bus driver didn't wait for me to fully get off before shutting the door on the pram. It's bonkers.
Also, the buses and infrastructure generally stops early in the evening. Italy is just bonkers and I don't recommend it at all if you have kids.

Ok, people here are being way too whiny and cry baby. It’s not the bus drivers job to be your guide. He has a very busy, dangerous route that requires his full attention. He doesn’t have the time nor the patience to deal with tourist questions. It is your responsibility to know where you’re going and to pay attention and request your stop. If he does not stop and pick you up, the bus is too full and it’s already a serious safety issue with everyone standing and piling on each other. He’s not not stopping to be a jerk. You need to plan ahead and accordingly. If you miss one bus because it is too full, make sure you know the bus schedule to catch the next or maybe even the next after that. It’s not hard. Also, you need to do your research before hand and be prepared. I was not surprised and well aware of the bus situation before I got here. The drivers are very skilled and are too busy keeping your whiny self safe. Ask another traveler on the bus if you need help. Leave the driver be and quit crying about it. This is the only public transport here. You don’t like it, shell out for a taxi and be quiet. The shop keepers have no idea how many people have bought tickets. They just sell them and you can use them anytime. The only thing that freaks me out is the stop buttons are not easy to reach on the bus and the driver today blew past my stop and stopped a little further ahead at another stop. It wasn’t a big deal, I was able to walk back okay. I asked a shop keeper why they might do that so I can have the knowledge next time and he said some of them may not know the town. Who knows.

Most trash bus company on earth!
They always come to early/late..
We had to go to agerola and missed 5+busses because they were filled within seconds. If you ask the bus ticket check personal at what time the bus arrives they will all say something else!
We where waiting for a bus when we just saw an empty bus from 2+ hours ago that updated to agerola like It was a joke luckily after pressing ourselfs in the bus we made It in.
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
In belgium It would be 15 minutes and your in a bus

I took this bus from Taranto bus terminal to Matera. The bus arrived on time. Bus driver was kind and helpful! These two are important factors for me as a foreign visitor.

Do not use this company. Most busses never show and the ones that do show are terrifying to ride due to dangerous driving.

The buses do not run to any kind of schedule (despite the timetables at bus stops). In Sorrento we waited 1 hour for a bus to Positano, then in Positano waited 1.5 hours for a bus to Amalfi (despite being at the bus stop before a scheduled bus was supposed to arrive). One of the bus drivers driving was terrifying. He drove very quickly around the hairpin corners of the amalfi coast with no regard for any onconing traffic. Multiple times he had to slam on the brakes causing the passengers standing to fall and stumble.

We came to Sorrento and took a bus to Amalfi for which we waited 2 hours. once we reached Amalfi and spent a few hours there, we bought another ticket to Salerno. We bought the ticket from a tourist shop and tried to board the bus at 4 pm. The bus became full in 2 mins and the driver did not allow rest of the people to board. The next and last bus was at 6pm when the sunset happens at 5:30 in December. There were so many left that the next bus would also have been full. We had to book a cab paying him 180 euros to reach Salerno. they seem to sell tickets without counting the seats and at the end the passenger suffers. PATHETIC EXPERIENCE. I would never recommend anyone to travel to Amalfi/Sorrento/Salerno with this bus. Either take a car or private tour or don't travel at all. It's not worth the effort and so much pain to come to a place which has such a bad travel arrangements and accessibility.

1) Get there early.
2) Buy your tickets in the ticket office (Sorrento train station has plenty offices, look for the one with SITA SUD). Get the daily ticket (24 hours, 10 Euro per person, unlimited rides on SITA buses). They were also selling these outside the bus, same price. If you are going from another town, they usually sell tickets at tobacco shops/newspaper shops.
3) Get in the queue. Expect it go insanely long after around 10, 11 AM. Expect to go on the second, third, even fourth bus, and if you board too late, you will have to stand all the way. They fill these buses to the top.
4) You might want to skip a bus to be in a better position for the next one, but once you do that, other people get the same idea and this will only make the driver angry so not the best idea.
5) Know where you are going, do your research about the best towns and stops. Googling Amalfi Coast, tons of people post pictures with no descriptions or wrong ones - you think you see photos of Sorrento or Amalfi but in fact they are usually Positano. Also, some sights like Fiordi di Furore or the hidden Valley in Sorrento are currently closed or under reconstruction so not accessible.
6) Positano has two stops, first is for the centre (far away from beach), second for the beach.
7) You can take a picture of timeschedule on Sorrento train station (Info point) or on some bus stops (fermata) or find it online. But generally the buses go every 15 minutes or so throughout the day and they will go whenever. They can't guarantee the times because of the traffic situation.
Oh and don't forget to validate your ticket on the first ride (they will most likely do it for you) and also you should write on the back the current date, your name and date of birth).
And expect the bus ride to take longer than advised because the road to Amalfi is insane, super busy, super narrow, full of honking and curves.
It is an experience, might not be the most pleasant one but honestly, I wouldn't take our rental car there for all the money in the world, not to mention crazy parking situation.

Hi, I will be in Foggia on 18 June 2019. Are the SITA bus tickets still sold at KIWI in Foggia, near the train station?

At the end of March they were still being sold at Kiwi. That is where we picked ours up at.

Is it difficult to make your way to Ravello, almafi and positano yourself using public transport from Sorrento. The tours are very expensive so trying to find away for us to do it ourselves and use the money we save to go to Capri

I had no problem using the SITA bus for the day trips. I bought the tickets in little markets near stop for 2€ or less one way. You just have to look up schedule. I walked from Minori to Ravello and not sure if SITA goes up there. It will be a full bus but not as full during peak tourist season.
