10/2006: Venice transport: 'water buses and taxis...'
Water buses called Vaporettos are Venice’s aquatic version of the underground, just as crowded and easy to use (once you get the hang of the clockwise, anti-clockwise thing) and although fairly frequent, they are quite slow and you might be quicker walking but the views and photo opportunities are first rate. Tickets are sold at the landing stages, in tourist offices and some small shops.
Water Taxis are very expensive. The rate is usually per minute on the clock and there are all sorts of extra charges, including a fixed rate at departure, a call-out charge, baggage charge, night service per minute, etc, etc. Try to negotiate a rate before you board.

Just to let you know the vaporettos don't run all night to all stops, so make sure if you arrive late at night you know how to get to your final destination!
