Public transport from Genoa

To get from the city is possible by public transport. Thus, a passing train runs from the Genoa train station to Milan. The fare is 25-35 euros, the travel time is 1 hour 35 minutes. The train departs once a day, the tickets are available in the railway station ticket-office.

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.

The only advantage of a bus and a train is the fare, it is significantly lower than of the taxi. Public transport does not provide that degree of comfort that taxi and transfer can do, you need to wait it at the stop, full of people, or the tickets may not be enough and you will have to wait for another bus or train.
