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?

Here it is, Elaine:

Hope this helps ...

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
