The water services offered is simple and accessible. It makes adventuring and travelling very simple. It also is 24hr service which is incredible. The only issue is when it is busy at the platform, people push in and if you not a person that can push in you will have to wait a few boats before hopping on one. I would say elderly, people with baby's and prams, as well as first come first serve should be given first passage

Venice is particularly easy to explore from the vaporetto...either take line 1 or 2 and enjoy the Grand Canal or explore the alleys on foot without a destination and if you get lost, simply get back on the vaporetto and continue. My visit to Venice without a vaporetto ticket

It was an awesome opportunity to see so much if Venice in a short time. We were able to catch water bus at any location and spent the day going around Venice using the buses. The directions and terminals were easy to figure out and it helped us see more of Venice, than if we traveled another way. The price if the ticket was resonable and quickly paid for itself.
