Combos Tickets in Venice

This was the best way to travel around Venice and surrounding islands. I took the bus from the mainland into Venice and then the water taxis/boats to Murano and Burano. The only confusing part was where to get the actual physical ticket. I just purchased a 75 minute bus ticket to get me to Venice, made my way to where the train departs and redeemed my ticket there. I think once you get it from the machine it is validated or it may need to be scanned on the machine to get validated. After that it works at the boat and bus booths. I chose to ride the bus over taking the train since it goes to the city center and there was a bus station right outside of my hotel. Phone maps have also become really easy to read to show when the next transportation should be arriving. In most cases both the buses and water boats were within 5 minutes of their arrival time every time! Only one time did I have to wait for another water boat but it was nearing late afternoon and everyone was heading back to Venice.
