SITA bus Siena to Florence in Piazza Grumsci times?
 
I have tried to find a bus timetable for this service but when I look at the SITA website this is only for 2010, there is a message in Italian which I cannot exactly follow talking about the timetable, I was wondering if anyone had or knew where to find the timetable? If not when I arrive in Siena where could I find the ticket office/ information for this service?
If anyone could help would be greatly appreciated

The ticket office is underground at Piazza Gramsci. Where will you be arriving?

If at the train station why do you want a bus?

I will be arriving in Siena at the station but will be staying a couple of days just outside the main gate. From what I have found it is considerably cheaper to get the bus to Florence than train

There is also a ticket office at the train station, but the hours are shorter and some days they close for a couple of hours at lunch. It's by the front doors as you are leaving on the right (train ticket office is on the left side). From Siena train station you will need to take a bus up to Siena/Piazza Gramsci if that is where you are staying. You can buy those tickets (city bus tickets) at the little store in the station or where you catch the bus (across the street underground - look for a ramp/stairs down sort of to the left after your cross the street or you can go through the mall and take the elevator). There is only a ticket machine there so have the right change.

Perhaps. I don't think there is much difference for Rome/Siena in € or travel time, but for Milan/Siena you can sometimes catch a 10€ special.
