Reviews of The Mall Firenze Bus Stop
Shi May Hoon
Paid for the 9.30am bus to The Mall. Bus still hasn’t left the terminal at 9.57. There’s the 10am bus. If I wanted to leave at 10am I wld have taken the later bus. This is unacceptable service. Take a cab from Florence if you can.

Ride drivers, rude staff, not helpful at all. Ppl With no ticket allowed to hop on the bus (paying cash to the doorman) not registered obviously… Mall is not so big as milan, selection is poor, and prices on average… Yes they have all the gucci’s logo you looking for…

Absolutely rude operators. I was holding onto a sandwich (all wrapped up in a bag) with no intention to eat on the bus (as per the rules). Yet, the operator denied boarding until I leave the sandwich out.

Exit the train, walk towards the station. Do not go into the station, turn left, go all the way over to the wall (McDonalds), turn left and walk to the end of the station. Look to the right for an entryway that leads to a walkway/ramp. The ramp is to the left and down to the street. At the bottom cross the street. The bus will arrive in the area where there are other busses.

Purchase your tickets on the bus - I paid by card. Cash accepted as well. I purchased the tickets online from themall on the same day and it mentioned “processing” after payment was made to PayPal. However, I did not receive any QR for the bus tickets. Driver insisted that I have to purchase a new ticket on board..got scammed. so DONT BUY the tickets online. Just get it on the spot!
