If you’re visiting Italy, and you don’t have your own mezzo di trasporto<\/strong> (means of transport), then you will probably have to use i trasporti pubblici<\/strong> (public transport). Here is a bit of vocabulary to help you get around:<\/font><\/p>\n

1. l’autobus<\/strong> (the bus)<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
prendere l’autobus<\/strong><\/td>\nto take, or catch the bus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
domani mattina prendo l’autobus per Santa Margherita<\/strong><\/td>\ntomorrow morning I’ll catch the bus to Santa Margherita<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
comprare un biglietto<\/strong><\/td>\nto buy a ticket<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
vorrei un biglietto per Santa Margherita per favore<\/strong><\/td>\nI’d like a ticket for Santa Margherita please<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
che autobus devo prendere per Santa Margherita?<\/strong><\/strong><\/td>\nwhich bus do I have to take for Santa Margherita?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

N.B.<\/strong> You normally buy the bus ticket either from the appropriate biglietteria<\/strong> (ticket office), or from a tabacchino<\/strong>, bar<\/strong>, etc. and not on the bus itself. When you get on the bus, you insert the ticket into a machine, usually located near the driver. This is to obliterare il biglietto<\/strong> (literally: obliterate the ticket). Make sure you keep the ticket for possible inspection.<\/p>\n

You can get on and off the bus at:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
la stazione degli autobus<\/strong><\/td>\nthe bus station<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
una fermata<\/strong><\/td>\na bus stop<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

getting on and off:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
salire sull’autobus<\/strong><\/td>\nto get on the bus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
scendere dall’autobus<\/strong><\/td>\nto get off the bus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
pu\u00f2 dirmi dove devo scendere?<\/strong><\/td>\ncan you tell me where I have to get off?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
deve scendere alla prossima fermata<\/strong><\/font><\/td>\nyou have to get off at the next stop<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

you might have to wait for the bus to arrive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
aspettare<\/strong><\/td>\nto wait<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
arrivare<\/strong><\/td>\nto arrive<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ho dovuto aspettare mezz’ora prima che arrivasse l’autobus!<\/strong><\/td>\nI had to wait half an hour before the bus arrived!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
forza, sbrigati, l’autobus <\/strong>sta per arrivare!<\/strong><\/td>\ncome on hurry up, the bus is about to arrive! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

try to find a place on the bus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
trovare posto<\/strong><\/td>\nto find a place to sit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
c’\u00e8 posto?<\/strong><\/td>\nis there anywhere to sit?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
scusi, questo posto \u00e8 libero?<\/strong><\/td>\nexcuse me, is this seat free\/unoccupied? <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
