Re: [Wikimania-l] transport - do you still need a ticket from the airport

[Lodewijk]

I guess a lot of people who arrive early will be doing that. Will the team
also send an email to all participants that for the bus from Varenna to
Esino Lario, they need to book in advance (if I understood that well). That
might very well be the bottle neck in the journey - the rest looks fine
indeed with alternative options.

Best,
Lodewijk

Re: [Wikimania-l] transport - do you still need a ticket from the airport

[Ellie Young]

I have asked the team to add another bus to the Linate schedule if at all
possible, and some other changes per the WMF travel manifest for
scholarships and staff.   So I think this schedule may  be updated in the
future.  If not, it is pretty easy to grab a bus to the Milano Centrale
train station and grab a train from there to Varenna/Esino.

Sorry to pile on questions, here - is there somewhere we need to sign up
for each individual bus, or will it be enough to just show the Eventbrite
"ticket" when we are there? There is only one bus from Linate on the 21st,
so I'm a little worried I'll not actually get on it.

When there is written taxi, it is because we have less than 4 requests.

For the record, I’d be interested in the Thursday morning 11am service from
Malpensa to Esino. I didn’t know where to sign up for these rides.

 Do we need to book? In advance, or at Wikimania?

 If not, how can we be sure of having a place?

Re: [Wikimania-l] transport - do you still need a ticket from the airport

[Lodewijk]

OK, I was originally assuming that the tickets would only be required for
the buses from the airport, and that the buses from Varenna would be the
'regular buses' that go there always. I now understand that the schedule
you posted is for private buses, and require advance booking.

Is this regular bus service schedule

on leccotransporti.it up to date and valid? It gives some very similar
times as the buses you mention.

My problem is that I'll be arriving from Lugano without fixed schedule, so
I don't know exactly which bus I'll be able to get. But I'll try to
schedule my trip accordingly..

Re: [Wikimania-l] transport - do you still need a ticket from the airport

[Iolanda Pensa]

The busses are meant for people who requested transport (eventbrite, 
scholarships and Wikimedia Foundation staff). If you did not requested direct 
transport, you can still buy a seat. we will post the remaining available seats 
on eventbrite you can buy (by Monday - i'll send you a notification here). 

When there is written taxi, it is because we have less than 4 requests.
