ATAF is the local bus company in Florence - their ubiquitous orange buses (and some are now red too) are everywhere - some are big, some are small, some run on natural gas, and some run on electricity. From their website:
"ATAF, Azienda Trasporti Area Fiorentina, represents a consortium of nine municipalities: Bagno a Ripoli, Calenzano, Campi Bisenzio, Fiesole, Florence, Impruneta, Scandicci, Ses... read more.
Since 2022 the buses system in Florence has switched from ATAF (Busitalia) to Autolinee Toscana.

The trams won't carry you past the Duomo; nothing on rails enters the pedestrianized historic center, where a fleet of small electric minibuses does that job instead. What the Tramvia does well is get you to the edge ... read more.
This information is out of date! SITA (short for "Busitalia"), stopped being the bus service in Florence, Italy on October 31, 2021. Management of Florence's bus service was shifted to Autolinee Toscane, which is in charge of bus services throughout Tuscany. Busitalia has service in Umbria, Venento, and Campania, and it looks like they have one route left in Tuscany - The Mall Bus. The airport se... read more.
