Florence’s new administration continues to introduce changes
that affect traffic and public transport.

 

Following
the success of the pedestrian-only zone in Piazza Duomo, the city has decided
to clear Piazza Signoria of private and municipal motor vehicles. Since November
20, even the authorized vehicles that have been allowed to park on via dei
Gondi have been banned. Now only members of the city administration and
disabled drivers will be allowed to park on via dei Gondi, on the side of the
even civic numbering.

 

New
routes and hours for the small electric buses that service Florence’s historic centre went
into effect on November 23. Not only do the new routes offer quicker transit to
and from Santa Maria Novella train station, they also include stops at public
car parks in the centre, and the service has been extended to Sundays.

the new routes, stops and timetables, see www.ataf.net
