The bus takes about 5 minutes and the walk form the bus stop to the bus station is about three minutes. You could also get a taxi which would cost about 7-10 Euro and is an easy alternative to taking the bus to the Autostazione.

Alternatively you can buy the ticket at the ticket office at Bus station (Autostazione Caserma Zucchi).
