Buses
City buses are frequent and cheap; tickets can be purchased at booths throughout town. Pick up a bus where you see a red sign saying ATC. There are a number of bus lines that link the most important points of the city, as well as the surrounding area. To travel it is necessary to buy a ticket before boarding – from tobacconist shops, at newspaper stands, at ATC offices or from automatic machines – as they are not sold on the bus. They must be stamped at the beginning of the journey. The central bus station is in Piazza XX Settembre, near the main train station.
The University center and the center of Bologna can be reached by bus n. 35 from Conference venue. The frequency of the Bus n.35 is about every 15 minutes from 7.00 am to 8 pm.
