For the hours the shuttles don't cover: the G51 public bus
The G51 has the same stop, the same route and the same arrival point as our shuttles: Trieste, Piazza della Libertà, next to the Central Station. The only difference is the ticket, which you buy online on the TPL FVG website. Our shuttles make sure there is a service at the busiest times.

- G51: up-to-date times and tickets
The times are those of the 2026–27 winter timetable; any changes are published on the TPL FVG website.
Before you set off
If you're taking the shuttle on race morning, you should already have your bib: pick it up the day before at the Bora Village or in Trieste, have it sent to your home, or have it brought to your room if you're staying at the NH Trieste.
