 The
public transport of the ACTV is usually punctual
and meets the needs of both the inhabitants and tourists. Obviously, when the
city is very crowded the vaporettos and motorboats tend to be packed which leads
to short delays. The Actv usually organises extra boats during special events
such as carneval to decongest the normal lines.
 If
you visit Venice during a particular event such as the Regata
Storica or the Vogalonga you should remember that
the Canal Grande is closed to motorised boats which means that the public transport
is greatly reduced if not stopped completely.
Tickets can be bought at the principal landing stages or at tobacconists with
the Actv sign; if you get on a boat without a ticket, you have to ask the "captain"
for one immediately.
 The
way the different lines are organised is a bit complicated so:
- pay attention to the indications of the boat number and destination inside
the landing stages. This is especially important because sometimes more than
one boat line stops at the landing stages so the boats go in different directions.
- before you get on the boat make sure which line it is: the number and main
stops are shown on the metal panels aboard the boats. If there isn't one, ask
the "captain". These panels also indicate if (andwhere) the line stops
if its stops sooner than normal ("limitato"). Don't confuse the line
number with the large number painted on the sides of the boat!.
