Thanks to Google Transit - a new online service from Google Maps - it is now possible to create a personalized public transportation itinerary in Florence.
The service, complete with nearest stops and timetables, gives detailed information about how to get from one point to another by using public transportation.
All you have to do is insert your departure and arrival points and with a simple click you've got a map with bus changes and any walking you will have to do.
The service - launched in Italy before any other European countries - currently includes information for Florence and Turin only.
Google Transit is available for the Florence metro area, the Mugello-Val di Sieve area and the Chianti-Valdarno area, thanks to the collaboration of ATAF, Linea and Autolinee Mugello Valdisieve who furnished complete itineraries and timetables.
The objective is to create an incentive to use public transportation but also to facilitate transportation for tourists in the city and surrounding areas.
