Group Description
Join conversations with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, sharing tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Italy. From the Colosseum in Rome and the canals of Venice to Florence’s art treasures, the Amalfi Coast, and the ruins of Pompeii, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find first-hand reviews, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and foodie experiences. This group welcomes mobility aid users, along with travelers who have autism, low vision, or hearing impairments, helping you enjoy a more accessible Italy adventure.

I probably could have written that better, what I meant was they showed me how to use the buses, inform the driver at the front you need the ramp at the centre doors and showed me where I needed to change to the second bus.
I think buses in Europe are pretty similar with at least two entrances/exits but here in Wales (and rest of UK) buses only have one door at the front opposite the driver.
(And you get on the wrong side of the bus in Continental Europe!)
