Sita

Sooooo easy to use, and WAY INEXPENSIVE!
We were doing a bit of sight-​seeing outside of Florence, and hiring a private driver just wasn’t going to cut it for us. We didn’t need (or want!) to spend a ridiculous amount of money, and where we were going there were no trains.
One day we had lunch reservations in Panzano in Chianti — approx 60min ride only 3.80EUR each way.
The other trip was to visit the Florence American Cemetary — approx 30min ride, only 2.30EUR each way.
So basically, the SITA location is probably Southwest of the SMN train station. So if you were facing the train station, it would be to your left.
This is the small little hub, complete with waiting area, for the regional buses. The buses were very clean, and in good condition. More like coach buses — — much better than what I was expecting.
You go inside, and purchase your ticket from the office — –you can purchase round-​trip if you’d like. Or… you can also purchase the one-​way from your destination too, most likely at a Tabacchi store.
Buses are very timely and on-​schedule. I would definitely recommend using the SITA for any regional travel.

SITA, die Autobusgesellschaft, die in Italien die Massen bewegt. Ich hatte leider das Pech, dass mal wieder gestreikt wurde :-(
Unglücklicherweise ist der Busbahnhof hinterm EisenBahnhof SantaMariaNovella versteckt. Unscheinbar in einem Hinterhof ohne weitere Hinweisschilder!!!
Also Augen auf!
Die Busse verkehren pünktlich und zuverlässig.
