Fermo doesn't have a train station in the city, it shares one with Porto San Giorgio (Stazione Porto San Giorgio Fermo), which is something of a misnomer given that the station is entirely in Porto San Giorgio and 7 kilometres away from Fermo. A bus connects the two locations with a journey time of 15 minutes.
