It does not reach St mark's. Piazzale Roma is the edge of the city; the vaporetto on from there is 39 minutes and EUR 9.50, which makes EUR 19.50 in total — more than the boat that goes directly.

Going on by water, buy the EUR 18.00 combined ticket rather than two singles. It covers this bus and 90 minutes of vaporetto.

It is the right choice, and cheap, if you are staying near Piazzale Roma, the station or on the mainland at Mestre.

No bus leaves the airport between 01:10 and 04:08; the land taxi to Piazzale Roma, EUR 40.00, runs at any hour.

The ordinary EUR 9.50 network ticket is not valid for the airport leg — the exclusion is written into the tariff.

ATVO's own documents disagree on the fare: EUR 10.00 on the route timetable, EUR 12.00 on the general airport price list. Ask before you board.

This is a separate timetabled run from ATVO's Venice coach, not the same bus continuing on — check you are at the right stop for Mestre.
