I'll be flying to Bologna in month.. there's an alternative for Areobus (5 euro one way).

"bus stop is about 10 minutes walk from the airport (bus stop name: Birra - other side of the elevated motorway) and you can board bus 81 and 91 which have an end stop at Bologna Central Train Station. Bus tickets are valid for 60 minutes travel and cost €1."
