From Positano to Sorrento by bus

SITA Sud runs a public bus from Positano to Sorrento. This is the most economical way to travel, and you can get tickets at most newsstands. However, during the peak holiday season, the buses can get quite crowded, and buying a ticket doesn't guarantee you a seat. Since you might not be by the window, you risk missing out on the scenic views. You'll also miss out on sightseeing, and have to put up with being jostled on a crowded bus.
