Water Bus Venice Italy


The uniqueness of Venice also comes from the fact that public transport (run by ACTV) operates on the water by means of the 'vaporetti' and 'motoscafi' (water-buses) and water-taxis, not by car or bus. The vaporetti are used on the Canal Grande and other heavily used routes, and the motoscafi (smaller vessels) on routes with less traffic. A vaporetto (ACTV water-bus) on the Canal Grande A motoscafo (smaller ACTV water-bus) at Ferrovia (railway station) A water-bus is the quickest way of getting between far-flung points, and even in cases where it might be quicker to walk, a canal trip can be the more pleasant way to covering the distance (if you're not travelling at rush hour).
