The bus and tram network in Florence, Italy, is run by the ATAF e Li-nea consortium. Timetables and other service information about day buses, night buses, electric buses and trams can be found on the ATAF website. Much of it is in English, but the Italian version contains the more up-to-date transport network map. Search for Firenze bus map I believe you can buy bus tickets at local shops, like Tabacchi
