Questa fermata è attiva anche di notte?

Is this stop active at night too?

Pronunciation

'Attiva' — 'at-TI-va'. Double 't'; stress on second syllable.

When to use it

Ask before walking to a distant stop late at night, to confirm that the night service actually uses the same stop as the daytime service.

What it means

'Attiva' means active/operational. 'Di notte' means 'at night'. Night services in Italian cities sometimes use different, consolidated stops rather than all daytime stops to speed up the route.

Variations

Il bus notturno ferma qui?

Does the night bus stop here?

Direct and concise alternative.

Qual è la fermata notturna più vicina?

What is the nearest night stop?

Useful when stop locations change for night service.

A che ora inizia il servizio notturno?

What time does the night service start?

Asks about the start time of night operations.

Mini Dialogue

— Questa fermata è attiva anche di notte? — No, il notturno si prende in piazza Venezia. — È lontano da qui? — Cinque minuti a piedi.

— Is this stop active at night too? — No, the night bus is taken from Piazza Venezia. — Is it far from here? — Five minutes on foot.

Cultural Note

Roman night buses, for example, all converge on Piazza Venezia or Termini station as hub stops. Knowing the night hub of your city can save a lot of confusion after a late evening out.
