From Assisi railway station, there is a bus service to the old town of Assisi.
You can buy bus tickets in the shops of the railway station (approximately 0.80 euros). There are several bus stops along the periphery of the town, bus near the center of the town most of all tourist get off so it's hard to mistake.
Some devout Catholics go to the town walking from the station for pilgrimage. I recommend only for long roadrunners... it takes more than 20 minutes uphill.
On my second trip there, I took the train from Rome. The Eurostar train took about 2 hours on the way over, but on the way back I took a cheaper train that took a little longer (and had to switch trains in Foligno). It's easy to get train tickets either in Rome or Assisi, and not very expensive (around 9-15 Euros depending on which train you take).
