Mobility in Venice – a lagoon island city shaped like a big fish – has two transport systems: the first is waterborne, consisting of canali, or canals, and rii, the larger water courses; the second is pedestrian, and consists of calli (alleys), ponti (bridges), campi (squares), salizzade (main pedestrian streets), rughe (small long alleys), fondamenta and rive (canal- and wharf-side paths). The separation of these two networks is closely connected to the special type of urban morphology, made up as it is of a series of waterborne services that can be broadly divided into three main types.

City-Centre Routes These are routes crossing the city and mainly using the Grand Canal. They also extend out to connect the area of Tronchetto with Lido Island. The No. 82 Route also connects Tronchetto and San Marco along the wide Canal separating Venice’s main historic centre with the island of Giudecca.

City-circular Routes These routes connect the perimeter of the “big fish” with the islands of Lido and Murano; they are used mainly by the commuting mainland dwellers and/or Venetian residents.

Lagoon Routes This last series of routes consists of those connecting the outlying and lagoon locations. As well as connecting Venice with the other islands of the lagoon (Burano, Torcello, S. Erasmo, S. Servolo, etc.), they also link up to peripheral mainland locations such as Tessera, Marco Polo Airport, S. Giuliano, Treporti, and Punta Sabbioni to the north and Chioggia and Fusina to the south. The Route No. 17 service also provides a ferry connection for motor vehicles from Tronchetto to Lido and back, while the No. 11 sails between the islands of Lido and Pellestrina.

Terminal Routes Venice is linked to the mainland by waterbus terminals served by the Actv Group’s “lagoon lines”. From Venice Airport the “Alilaguna Line” serves Murano, Lido, St. Mark’s and Venice’s passengers-ship terminal; from the Fusina terminal sails the “Fusina Line”, which serves Zattere; the “24 Line” sails between San Giuliano and Fondamente Nove; and the “Clodia Line” crosses the southern lagoon from Chioggia directly to S.Zaccaria.
