It is surprisingly easy to get to the Amalfi Coast from Naples by public transportation once you know what you are looking for so allow me to give you my travel spoilers. There are no bullet trains that goes to the Amalfi Coast but there are transit options once you get to Naples.

Starting from the Napoli Centrale (Naples Central Station), you can take the local regional train. Look for signs for the Circumvesuviana which is the train system that passes through Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii before finally concluding its trip at Sorrento.
At the time we rode the Circumvesuviana, the fare for my husband and I was only 7.60 euros. This was quite reasonable given the distance. It took about 50 minutes to get from Naples to Sorrento. There are ticket windows at the entrance of the platforms, however, they only accept cash payments. Based on the signs we saw, all Circumvesuviana trains going to Sorrento depart from platform number 3. When you finally get on, I recommend sitting on the left side so that you will have a superior view of Mount Vesuvius.
When arriving in Sorrento, you can take the Sita Bus to the multiple cliff towns along the gorgeous Amalfi Coast. The ticket you purchase in Sorrento for the Sita Bus is a 24-hour all-day ticket. We arrived in Sorrento at around 5pm so we made full use of it by going back to Pompeii the following day. There are schedules for the Sita Bus posted at each bus stop. They are general on time although I would recommend arriving at the bus stop 10 minutes early as our bus in Positano arrived 8 minutes early and departed before the scheduled arrival time. Better safe than sorry!
