? Re Legends For Siena Bus To Florence

I'm looking at the schedule for the rapid bus from Siena to Florence, http://www.trainspa.it/train04/extraurbano.pdf, and I don't see any rapid buses leaving before 11:10 on a Sunday. What does the "A" and "SAB" stand for?

Thanks.

Sab is Saturday (Sabato).

Are you asking about the bus number such as 131R or 131A or something at the top of the times?

I have a Siena Mobilita schedule book which includes the legends. FWIW - the bus that stops on Poggibonsi doesn't take much longer.

Legend:

Crossed hammers - work days - Mon-Sat.
Cross - Sundays/holidays
A (in a circle) - workdays excluding Sat.

>>>Sigh....so no early rapid bus!<<<

Pages 63-67 are the rapid bus.
Pages 59-62 are the slower bus.

You can also take the train, but it's not any faster than the slower bus.

As kybourbon sez - go to page 59. On page 59 I see Sunday buses, Linea 1310/A Siena-Colle Val d’Elsa-Poggibonsi-Firenze (Corse Ordinarie) leaving Siena V. Tozzi at 6:20 (arr. 7:55), 8:10 (9:45), 9:40 (11.15), 10:40 (12:15). They take only 20 minutes more than the “rapid” one - what’s the hurry?

SAB (sabato) means Saturday only.
