How do I get from Fiumicino airport into central Rome?

The Leonardo Express train runs non-stop from Fiumicino (FCO) to Roma Termini in about 32 minutes for roughly 14 euros. A cheaper SIT or Terravision shuttle bus to Termini costs around 6 to 7 euros but takes longer and depends on traffic. From Termini, the metro and buses fan out across the city.
