This is the only option here that reaches the middle of Venice without a second ticket. Everything on wheels stops at Piazzale Roma.

It is slow — 85 minutes — because it is a boat making stops, not a transfer. Budget the time even though it costs less door to door than the bus.

If your hotel is near Piazzale Roma or the station, take the bus instead: you would be paying for water you do not need.

The dock is a walk from the terminal along a covered walkway. Allow for it with heavy luggage.

The coach from Treviso Airport runs with the flights, and ATVO suspends it when a flight is cancelled.
