SITA bus schedule Firenze to Siena
 
Hi
I've been all over the SITA bus website, can't seem to find the schedule of buses between Florence and Siena and back again.
Any suggestions?

I have printed it so it does exist and anyway there are about two buses an hour all day long it seems so you don't really need exact schedules. www.sita-online?

There's some irrelevant stuff in here:

But Feriale appears to mean M-Sa (with an X).

I could be wrong though.

Yes the SITA site mentions buses that run on Feriale - work days only but fails to define work day, which 111op i think correctly defines at mon-sat. This may be obvious to Italians but not to foreigners - a brief insert of Mon-Sat would be helpful.

Thanks. Just don't blame me if you show up for a bus that doesn't run. :-)

I was pleasantly surprised that I showed up for the 4:10 pm bus on a Friday and it ran right on time.

The return bus at 7:10 also ran on time.

111op: Where does the bus set you down in Siena, or where does it pick you up - one terminal or does it stop at several before reaching terminus? Thanx

The bus makes local stops near Florence and Siena. (I'm afraid that I don't know what these stops are -- but presumably only the locals would know.)

The final stop in Siena is at a public square of some sort. It's not a bus terminal, but there're several bus stands, etc. And there're long-distance buses to other destinations in that area.

I'm afraid that I can't be more specific, as I had to ask how I could get to Piazza del Campo. (I recall that this was near a church of some sort -- Domenico?)

Anyway, all I did was to ask for directions, but there were also signs to the main attractions. About a 10 min walk. I got the feeling that I was on the other side from the main square (as I looked across to see a tall tower, which I suspected was Mangia next to Pubblico).

I know that I ended up mostly on Via dei Citta (sp?).

thanks all for the info, especially the schedule page. Even in English it's a bit complicated, it reminds me of New York City parking signs--tells you more about what isn't the case rather than being clear about what IS. I'll study it.

I actually just found another website that's easier to use and clear to read
http://www.trainspa.it/home.html

click at the top on Orari (schedules)
on the next page, fill in the boxes on the left, using Firenze and Siena.
