Considered all the options to get from Marco Polo airport to Venice. While shared water taxis seemed to be an option for a spectacular arrival, I felt from the pictures that they would sit too low in the water, be crowded, really not give a good return for cost! The choice for us was the Express Bus! Got our tickets on line and printed them. Stepped out the ground transportation area and there were the buses! The clerks were efficient, understood English, helped with the validation process! The bus was clean. The ride was quick, safe, a really great option to get a feel for the location of Piazzale Roma in Venice. Upon arrival, it is easy to transfer to water taxi (vaporetto) service to the entire city. The vaporetto runs like a metro system with many stops along the canal. Stops often have more than one boarding area, coordinating to the direction and other stops it makes. Look, read and ASK before boarding. The system is cheap and works! You can also walk from P Roma via bridge

Got on a relatively comfortable air conditioned coach and it took me and the wife to the airport to go home. More expensive that public transport, but seven and a half quid buys you out of some of the public transport system if you don't like dealing with people :)

This coach runs regularly so you won't be stuck waiting for others to get on and for the next bus. Very neat coach which takes about 20 minutes to get to Piazzale Roma, where there's a water bus stop to the various areas in the city. Reliable and would use again.

Quik and inexpensive way to get from the airport to Vince City center. Leaves you in a ten minute wolk to the cruise ships and in the entrance of Vice islands. Ride takes aboutb20 minutes tops and easy find and board. Buses come about every 15 minutes

We had trouble finding taxi station as there were no signs or directions, but with help from local agency we managed to get on board and it was fun and way better experience than public shuttles! thank you
