New Mini-Bus Transportation for ICTP

[Info Point]

*NEW MINI-BUS TRANSPORTATION AT COMPETITIVE PRICES TO AND FROM AIRPORTS, 
AVAILABLE TO VISITORS & ICTP STAFF*

 

Science-Bus, a newly created and reliable shuttle mini-bus service, 
offers direct transportation in 8 seat modern mini buses to and from 
ICTP and the nearest airports Trieste/ Ronchi dei Legionari, Venice, 
Treviso and Ljubliana. It also serves other scientific institutions.

Any visitor or ICTP staff may use the service, also for private 
travels.  This service improves and facilitates the connection to and 
from the airports. Guests staying at the Adriatico or Galileo 
Guesthouses will have "door to door" transportation without having to 
walk up or down from the main street /Strada Costiera carrying heavy 
luggage, as is the case for the regular airport bus 51 to Ronchi.

 

_BOOK VIA INTERNET MINIMUM 2 DAYS IN BEFOREHAND:_

1) Get a special voucher number beforehand (this allows access to the 
discounted ICTP tariff) from any of the following ICTP offices: 
Transportation (zerial at ictp.it),    Operations & Travel, the receptions 
of the Adriatico and Galileo Guesthouses,  Info Point in the Leonardo 
Building. 

Each number is for one person only, if there are more persons, more 
numbers are required.

2) Go to the web site: www.science-bus.com

3) Insert the voucher number in the window of the web site and book the 
mini-bus transportation required, indicating all details (arrival or 
departure time, wanted pick-up or drop-off place, contact telephone 
number and number of luggage items).

4) Science-Bus will give you an e-mail confirmation and indicate the 
pick-up time for out-going travelers.

Trips may be booked also without voucher numbers, but then the regular 
price will be charged.

 

*TRAVELLERS MUST NOT BE LATE AT THE PICK-UP TIME SINCE THERE MAY BE 
OTHER TRAVELLERS ON BOARD ALSO IN NEED OF REACHING THE AIRPORT IN TIME.*

CASH PAYMENT in EURO must be made to the driver of the bus on the spot. 
Credit cards are not accepted.

 

ICTP Discounted fares, one-way/head,  are:

 

ICTP/Trieste - Ronchi  Eur. 13.80

ICTP/Trieste - Venice or Treviso  Eur. 44,40

ICTP/Trieste - Ljubljana  Eur. 72,00

 

_FOR INCOMING TRAVELLERS:_

The driver will be waiting for incoming travelers INSIDE the airport, 
with their names written on a sign.

/EXTRA COSTS FOR DELAYS/

If, due to late arrival of the incoming plane or problems with the 
luggage, the traveler is delayed for more than 60 minutes, calculated as 
time from the planned flight arrival and when the traveler joins the 
driver, a waiting fee of 5,50 euro will be charged per each additional 
15 minutes.

_ICTP STAFF ON MISSION_

If the Science-Bus is used on mission, staff should pay the bus cost and 
get reimbursed via the terminal allowance, if entitled to such. In case 
of penalties to be paid due to the late arrival of the airplane, and the 
total amount exceeds the terminal allowance, the paid total should be 
claimed and reimbursed.  Transportation to or from the Venice, Treviso 
and Ljubljana airports would be reimbursed, thus replacing the terminal 
allowance. Alternatively, for duty travels for which terminal allowance 
would be due, the Science-Bus booking can be done with a special voucher 
number that Science-Bus will invoice ICTP. Requests for such invoiced 
transportation should be made to the ICTP Transportation Office, and 
include the budget code to which the cost should be charged.

 

ICTP's Transportation office will continue to provide transportation 
services to special categories of visitors or staff, especially during 
normal working hours.

 

 

Have a good trip.
