Re: [Wikimania-l] transport booking

dear all to clarify, there are two kind of busses 1. busses from the airports to Esino (and viceversa). All people with a WMF scholarship, all WMF staff and all people who bought their airport transport have a seat on the busses. we made this timetable to accommodate the arrivals https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Journey/Airport_busses Marta is preparing with Stuart Prior (who has the access) a registration system on eventbrite to buy the remaining seats. It will be available in a short time (meanwhile please have a look at the available times) We might add another bus on Monday if needed to make sure everyone can get home. Please note that we are managing as volunteers this service for your comfort, it is very very complicated and busses do not bloom in the grass but need to be reserved, organized and they cost 500 euro each - last minute services is impossible. We do our best to meet you needs but we will not be able to accommodate everyone’s preference. Please also consider to take and pay a taxi or urber if you have specific requests in particular from the airports to Esino. 2. busses from Varenna to Esino Lario (and viceversa) We should have the definitive contract today and this is the expected schedule https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Journey/Varenna_Esino_busses We are putting as many busses as possible on the schedule but there are limits due to the street (we are saturating it but we can not block it) and there are limits due to the schedule bus drivers can do. We are really sorry that you might have to wait for your bus, but you can reserve your seat on the next available bus once you arrive in Varenna and Varenna is indeed really beautiful: you can leave the luggage at the station and enjoy the place during the waiting time. You do not need to reserve on eventbrite your ticket for Varenna Esino but you be able to get it once you are in Varenna or in Esino. Please note that you can get or reserve your return ticket in Varenna or Esino; it is a good idea to get it immediately or to think about it as soon as you can. hope this clarifies how we set the busses. I am sorry that it takes time to confirm the schedule and if anyone wants to help in taking the reservations is more than welcome. I have to admit that no one is really queueing to get the job :) iolanda
