buses from Venice Marcopolo Airport
I would like to get from Venice airport to Ariano del Polesine
(a small town south of Venice) on 25 April - my plane (if I go) will get in late morning. This timetable service was suggested to me: http://ro.autobus.it/ro/asp/RicercaOrari.asp?User=SITA It lists both the airport and Ariano del Polesine among the destinations covered, but when I try to get from one to the other it doesn't know how. Can it be done? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

Perhaps there is a different bus company that runs those days |

I would like to get from Venice airport to Ariano del Polesine (a small town south of Venice) on 25 April April 25 will be a holiday, so I expect the Sunday timetable ("festivo") to be valid (irrespective of the transport operator) This timetable service was suggested to me: http://ro.autobus.it/ro/asp/RicercaOrari.asp?User=SITA Not sure what this site is. I found that usually sites which boast to be able to handle "generic" queries for buses are unreliable. One has to find the site of the proper operator or agency, which is not easy (see below). Can it be done? Unfortunately there is no omnicomprehensive site for searches of local transport buses in Italy (like e.g. rejseplanen,dk in Denmark). Local transport is under Regional authority. Some regions (e.g. Lombardy) have more or less good search engines, other have delegated local transport to Provinces. Some of these have more or less good search engines, other haven't or have just bureaucratic sites (like trasporti.provincia.venezia.it/) This is the site of the Venetian transport agency (the same one which runs the lagunar boat service, so it can be very Venice-centric ... the very fact the page talks of "terraferma" [firm land, as opposed to sea] is very indicative) http://www.actv.it/muoversiinterrafe...neeextraurbane I guess Ariano is in the province of Rovigo, so there may not be direct cross-province links. You might have to find some way to get closes (e.g. by train) and then catching a local bus, or exceptionally a taxi. You might try to query on this forum http://forum.milanotrasporti.org/ (it is a forum of competent transport fans, most of them are based in Milan, but they run each year a context of finding a route in all regions, so maybe somebody will know). You should be able to post in English if you can go through the initial interface. The forum where to post the query is the one titled "Come spostarsi da... a..." (how to move from... to...). It used to be accessible to anyody, but now they require to register an username even for that. The link "Iscriviti" (subscribe yourself) is the one for registration |

I would like to get from Venice airport to Ariano del Polesine (a small town south of Venice) on 25 April I did some quick checks. Apparently the bus operator in the area is SITAbus, a subsidiary of Trenitalia, and the site you quoted is correct (unfortunately they do not provide line pdf timetable, just a search engine). I tried a query on today's date, next Saturday and next Sunday, and apparently there is no Sunday service, so this could explain why you can't find anything on April 25 (holiday). Ariano (province of Rovigo) looks located near Adria, east of Rovigo. There is a Trenitalia railway line from Rovigo to Adria and Chioggia, and there is a private railway line from Venice to Adria. For the latter you can get timetables from this site http://www.sistemiterritorialispa.it...iali/index.asp (timetable link "Orario" near the train picture) For Trenitalia use any of its search engines, I like the RFI ones where you can obtain the arrival or departure timetables printout on display in the stations http://www.rfi.it/cms/v/index.jsp?vg...40 16f90aRCRD Apparently either you go with Trenitalia from Venice to Rovigo, and then Rovigo to Adria, or directly from Venice to Adria with the private railway, or maybe you could navigate from Venice to Chioggia, and take the Trenitalia train Chioggia-Adria (the line is Rovigo-Adria-Chioggia), could be an experience ! I let you find the best way to go from the airport to the most convenient station (Santa Lucia or Mestre), and to decide whether to take a taxi in Rovigo or Adria. |

Fortunately I only have to worry about getting there - I can get a lift back on the Sunday (I'll be heading for Croatia). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

I would like to get from Venice airport to Ariano del Polesine
(a small town south of Venice) Ariano (province of Rovigo) looks located near Adria, east of Rovigo. There is a Trenitalia railway line from Rovigo to Adria and Chioggia, and there is a private railway line from Venice to Adria. I wound up going there by a different route (getting a lift from Bologna), but used the Adria-Venice train going back. I didn't remember it was private. Big, comfortable carriages, fairly frequent schedule and only 5.60 euros. I also found a cheap and friendly B&B near the station in Adria (AdriaBella). I'll use that railway again to travel via Adria (I'll be back there in two years). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

I don't think it's "private" as such It will be local authority contracted rather than nationally contracted. We have exactly the same thing here in Germany tim |
You can have it easily as you have many service providers. Most basically the thing is to experience and chose something which is right for us in all the ways and that is what i normally consider while my traveling. This is how things can be right for you.
