Air Campania's urban line 16UB began running along Corso Garibaldi in Benevento on 12 October 2026, restoring a bus connection through the historic centre between the Duomo and the Prefettura.
The route adds three new stops along the corso, near Via Gregorio VIII, Piazza Roma and Santa Sofia, according to NTR24. The stated objective is to make the historic centre easier to reach and to encourage visits to businesses along Corso Garibaldi.
Confesercenti Benevento welcomed the start of the service. President Gianluca Alviggi described it as a social service for residents and users of the historic centre, not only a measure requested by shopkeepers, according to Ottopagine.
How to use the new service
The service operates Monday through Friday, with four daily passages scheduled at 9:49, 11:49, 16:49 and 18:49. It does not operate on Saturdays and Sundays, according to Confesercenti's account.
Travellers planning to use the line should look for 16UB departures connecting the Duomo and Prefettura areas, and for the three marked stops near Via Gregorio VIII, Piazza Roma and Santa Sofia. The available reporting does not establish the exact direction of travel for each timed passage, so passengers should check the displayed destination before boarding.
The initiative was also presented in a Tv7 News video published on 9 October 2026, which describes the change as the return of Air Campania's urban route 16 along Corso Garibaldi, with four weekday trips intended to improve access to the historic centre and support local shops.
What to know before you go
Ticketing conditions, travel time and the exact route beyond the Duomo-Prefettura connection and the three new stops have not been confirmed in the reporting available so far. Passengers should confirm fares and boarding rules with Air Campania before travelling.
NTR24 also reports concerns about pedestrian safety, historic paving and compatibility with the pedestrian character of Corso Garibaldi. Those questions are not resolved by the available material.
There is no independent ridership data yet, and no evidence of the effect on local commerce. The sources also do not confirm whether the schedule or route will change after the initial launch period.
