• the Terravision bus to Termini costs € 5 one-way, € 8 there and back and takes about an hour. When traveling from Termini - even if you already have a ticket - you have to "check in" at the Terra Café at the bus stop (on the north side of the train station) and get a boarding pass. According to the company, you should do this at least 30 minutes before departure (there is a café attached where you should still consume), but it is also sufficient to only be there 10 minutes before departure.
