Barzi Service coachorTaxi, from the rank?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Barzi Service coach reaches Venice — Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto; the Taxi, from the rank does not. The EUR 15.00 minimum applies to Treviso station or the old town — not Venice. A taxi to Venice runs on the meter beyond the municipal boundary, subject to the driver's agreement, so no price to Venice can be stated.

The Taxi, from the rank is quicker: 10 min against 40 min.

Barzi Service coach: 07:40–21:55. Taxi, from the rank: hours not recorded.

It ends at TRONCHETTO, not Piazzale Roma. Walking to Santa Lucia station means EUR 1.50 more on the People Mover — which still leaves it cheaper and faster than the EUR 14.00 coach.

Going anywhere by vaporetto, buy the EUR 9.50 network ticket: it covers the People Mover and the boat, so arriving at Tronchetto costs you nothing extra.

Children under ten go free. For a family this can matter more than the fare.

Check the last departure for your day. It is 20:30 on one timetable block and at or before 21:00 on five of seven, while flights land as late as 21:30.

Only 10 to 12 buses a day run in the other direction, the last leaving Tronchetto at 18:30 — much earlier than you would expect for an evening flight.

Every price here is a minimum with a meter above it, so treat them as a floor rather than a quote.

A Treviso taxi can legally take more than four people — the regulation sets four as a minimum with no ceiling, and the tariff prices up to eight. That is unusual and worth knowing for a group.

The published discounts for over-65s and others apply only to journeys inside the Treviso municipality, so not to Venice.

For Venice, the driver is not obliged to take the fare at all: journeys beyond the municipal boundary need the driver's consent.
