# Using Local Buses in Siena

You will not need a bus inside the walls — Siena is walkable end to end in 25 minutes. But for the station, the hospital, or outlying neighborhoods, here is the system.

Key facts

All city buses leave from Piazza Gramsci, just inside Porta Camollia.
Single ticket: 1.50 euro at tabacchi, 2.50 on board. Valid 90 minutes.
Most useful lines: 9 (station-center), 17 (hospital-center), S1/S2 (city loop).
Buses to Florence, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza all leave from Piazza Gramsci too.
Buy regional tickets at the Sena/Autolinee Toscane office under Piazza Gramsci, not at the tabacchi.

What I tell visitors

Download the at-bus app for live timetables. Printed schedules at stops are often out of date.
