Buses
Bus tickets are NOT sold on board (unless otherwise specified); they can be bought at newsagents and tobacconists. If your trip is not within the urban area, specify your destination. You must stamp your ticket in the orange, red or yellow stamping machine as soon as you get on board; otherwise, it is not valid. Once stamped, the ticket is valid for a hour, and in that time you can take as many different buses as you need without buying another ticket.
Here you will find bus numbers and timetables (in italian). Select departure (“partenza”) and destination (“arrivo”) from the drop-down list in the first box (“Applicativo destinazioni Padova”) and click on the “invia” button to confirm.
