Public transport from Genoa

Bus is a less popular mode of transport in Italy. You can get from Genoa to Milan in 2-3 hours, the travel time often depends on the traffic jams within city limits. The daily direct bus also runs to the Milan-Malpensa Airport. It departs every morning at 6.00, and the time en route is 3 hours.
