Tourist bus rates

Tourist bus rates, taxes included, differ depending on the destination (city centre or periphery), the tourist season (high or low) and the payment method (online or at our check-point Il Fagiolone). There are also discounts for groups staying in accomodation facilities in Siena.

Loading and unloading of passengers is allowed on the tourist bus drop-off and pick-up areas.

 


TOURIST BUS PERMITS

 

Tourist bus permits are divided in five categories: O, P, H ,G, A, as described below. For a more detailed description, please download Tourist BUS regulation of the Municipality of Siena.

ORDINARY PERMIT FOR THE HISTORICAL CITY CENTRE – O

“O” Permit – (Historical city centre and parking)
This permit is designed for those visiting the historical city centre, it allows loading and unloading of passengers at the drop-off and pick-up area assigned, at the time shown on the permit. It is possible to buy the permit at the check point and on-line (at a discounted rate). It must be printed to be displayed on the dashboard before entering to the limited traffic area for buses.

HISTORICAL CITY CENTER PERMIT – DISCOUNT FOR HOTEL GROUPS – P, H
Two discounts are available for groups staying in accomodation facilities in the city of Siena: one for parking at “Il Fagiolone” bus park (“P” permit) and one for drop-off and pick-up operations (“H” permit). “P” and “H” must be requested at least one day prior to the group arrival in Siena and this can be done exclusively by the accomodation facility . They can be purchased on-line (discounted rate) or at the bus Check-Point (full rate). They must be printed to be displayed on the dashboard before entering the bus Limited Traffic Zone .

“P” Permit – (Historical city centre and parking)
It is made for groups staying in accomodation facilities in Siena. With this permit, the bus driver can drop-off and pick-up tourists in the historical city center, as well as park at “Il Fagiolone” bus park. Other stops to drop-off and pick-up passengers are allowed during the days of the stay in Siena. The closest drop-off and pick-up area to the accomodation facility is specified at the time of reservation.

“H” Permit – (Historical city centre)
It is made for groups staying in accomodation facilities in Siena. With this permit, the bus driver can drop-off and pick-up passengers and their baggages, but cannot park at “Il Fagiolone” bus park. The bus can transit through the bus Limited Traffic Zone of Siena only on the arrival and departure day, at the time specified in the permit.  Transiting through the bus Limited Traffic Zone to take the group to Siena historical city centre or to take the group on day trips outside Siena is not allowed, as a “P” permit is necessary for this purpose. To park inside the accomodation facility parking areas, on the day of arrival and departure only, the “H” permit is needed. Other stops are not allowed. When requesting a “H” permit, the software shows the closest drop-off and pick-up area to the hotel or the hotel parking area, if available.

GENERAL PERMIT – “G”

“G” Permit
The general permit is for groups that have to reach a specific destination in the suburban areas (accomodation facilities, restaurants, hospital….) and doesn’t allow parking at “Il Fagiolone” bus park nor dropping-off or picking-up passengers in the city centre. It can be purchased at the check-point (full rate) or on-line (at a discounted rate) and has to be printed to be displayed on the dashboard before entering the bus Limited Transit Zone.

POST ACCESS PERMIT – “A”

“A” Permit

IMPORTANT:
Once the bus arrives at the Check Point, should the date of arrival or the bus driving plate differ from the ones indicated in the booking present in SI.GE.RI.CO. S.P.A. softwares, the reservation Voucher won’t be considered valid. The driver or the person in charge of collecting the TOURIST BUS ZTL ACCESS PERMIT, will have to make a new payment on site. The full rate will be charged. Without this payment, the bus won’t be allowed inside the Tourist Bus Limited Transit Zone, and, in case of a violation, the bus details will be sent to the Local Police Station. It is not possible to refund the amount paid for the incorrect booking. It is possible to modify the date of arrival only if the high season or low season rate matches the amount paid in the original booking.
