Etna Trasporti Taormina Catania recent customer reviews

Unfortunately it was not possible to use the ticket as the bus was full two times in a row. It is better to begin journey from the central station as a few stops later in Taormina Capo it was already having all the seats occupied.

Bus was 30 mins late thus the backup along the route was horrendous . Ticket office and driver most discourteous. Not a pleasant experience.

Bus time was inaccurate and caused me to miss the actual bus (at 3:15 PM) narrowly. Had to buy another ticket.

The bus left Taormina an hour late. Furthermore, the driver stopped the bus in the centre of Catania and refused to take us to the airport, after 10pm at night and already and hour late for getting to the airport. Refused to speak to anyone who spoke English. Not great.

Displaying the bus destination on its digital display, so passengers know which bus is the right one & where it is heading to. Also the aircon wasn’t the best on the trip, it was abit of a hot box with everyone on board.
