Buses in Italy
 

Does anyone know some Internet sites that show schedules/fares of buses in Italy? I will be there in Jan/Feb and want to research the option of bus trips instead of trains. Thanks!

Hi, <BR>I have a couple of bus websites for specific locations (like Siena) in Italy, but the following may have more general information <BR>www.budgettravel.com/eurotran.htm/

I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific, Rachel. There's no general bus travel site in Italy that I know of. <BR> <BR>Where are you basing youself? Which bus trips are you sure you'll wanna make? <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR> <BR>

Hi <BR>I found these. I have not followed all the links to the end, so I don't know how truly useful these will be. If you use any of them, let us know please. <BR>www.annells.demon.co.uk/main/busita.htm links to websites on Italian bus services <BR>www.tiac.net/users/pendini/bus.html bus service, Florence airport-train station, & to Siena www.turismoverde.com/english/enhome.htm bus service Siena <BR>http://150.217.9.3/ie/citybus.htm bus service in selected cities in Italy <BR>

Bus trips i know I want to make - for instance - are from Abruzzo to Venice or Venice to Milan....

Rachel, there are relatively few long haul bus connections in Italy. On the other hand, bus connections are pretty good within a specific region. <BR> <BR>In your case, you wouldn'd have any problems finding bus connections between L'Aquila and Pescara or other cities in the Abruzzi. I would be very surprised if there's a bus from L'Aquila, say, to Venice. Most likely, you'd find connections from L'Aquila to Rome and to Milan. I would also be very surprised if there's a bus connection between Venice and Milan. The train connection is just too good and the bus company would be out of business in no time :-). On the other hand, there appears to be a bus service between Milan and Vicenza (maybe because the train connection is not as good). <BR> <BR>You may wish to give a look at the site <BR>http://server.jesi.nettuno.it/script...eltaarrivo.asp <BR> <BR>By no means it appears to be complete and I wouldn't be surprised if connections it lists as effective, indeed don't exist ... use it at your own risk :-) <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR>

Please bring this to Elvira's attention.
