Campania regional transport service disruptions

Overview

Public transport in the Campania region, particularly the Benevento-Napoli route, is experiencing significant service interruptions and reliability issues. The Benevento-Napoli railway line, which has been interrupted since March 2021, faces potential reopening delays until autumn 2027. Officials have cited copper theft as a recurring issue, though leaders have called for increased security and transparency rather than using it as a justification for further rescheduling.

To mitigate the lack of rail service, a feasibility study has been completed for a new bus link by AIR Campania. This proposed service would connect Montesarchio to the Napoli Afragola high-speed rail station with 12 daily trips, pending funding from the Campania Region.

Broader regional transport challenges include technical difficulties with ticket systems, insufficient vehicle capacity during peak hours, and instances of buses failing to arrive or depart as scheduled. Additionally, maintenance and railway works have led to the suspension of the Chiaia funicular and rescheduling of the Napoli-Piedimonte Matese line.
