bus to Vatican from Roma S. Pietro train station?

We plan to buy a BIRG Day Ticket and take the train from the cruise port, get off at the Roma S. Pietro train station (closest stop to Vatican) and hopefully take a bus from the train station to the Vatican. An old 2012 post said there was a bus but not sure if it still runs. If no bus is there a taxi stand at the station?

While it is only about a 1 km. walk, my wife has walking difficulties and uses a cane.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

There is one bus that stops at the San Pietro station, the #64.

This bus has a stop near the basilica but if you are going to the museums you'll still have a hike of just under a mile.

You could stay on the bus for a couple of more stops and change to the #23 to get closer to the museums entrance but it will be faster to walk.

There are cabs at the train station, we saw about 4 or 5 of them when we took the train there & back last July. Should be pretty easy to grab one or ask somebody to call one for you. When you exit the station, they are to the right.

If you're just going to St Peter's Basilica, it is probably easier to walk then take the bus or a cab. If you are going to the Vatican Museum, don't mess with the bus, get a cab. The cab is direct and takes you right to the museum entrance. If you're going to the museum, get a reservation or better yet book a tour through the Vatican web site. Walk right in and don't wait in what could easily be a 2 - 3 hour line.

Typically getting the train into Rome will get you to the station around 9 - 10 (depends on when you get up), so it is possible to book a tour of the museum and then see some of cathedral and be on a 4 PM train back.

Whatever you do, you will be awed by the place.
