A pleasant trip from Bari to Matera.
Beautiful views, vibration of the train is also very comfortable.

From Matera Central Station to the heart of the town, it takes about 10 minutes

There are a few long-distance direct buses from other cities to Matera. However, once on board you can only wait to arrive, it's very easy! These buses are so beautiful, fun and very convenient. Please check the timetable before.
All of the following buses stop at "Matera Villalongo station", 1 km away from the center of the town, so get off there. "Matera Villalongo station" is useful to take a taxi. You can arrive at the heart of Matera at about 10 euros.
You can also go by train from Bari to Matera. Just you need to go to Bari by bus. Bari is a big city so there are many direct buses leaving from the main Italian cities. If you use one of them, you can save time and money than going by train. On the bus ticket agency ATS's website it can be found the time of long-distance buses of several companies.
On the way back from Matera, I'd wanted to go to Naples but I found much less frequent train from Bari to Naples. Fortunatelly I saw a tourist information on the square in front of Bari station.
They were bery friendly and informed me of the bus's timetable and of the ticket office place. The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. (September 2009)
Matera was so well known as an island of land. Since there was not enough transport way, it was very difficult to reach. However recently the trains are operated properly, and many buses run from each town to Matera. Plan well before to travel well!
