I am considering using busses to daytrip to Lucca, Pisa, Sienna, Montepuciano, Montecino, hill towns from Florence and Chiusi (Mar/Apr 2008). It seems to be impossible to find bus schedules in Italy. Does anyone have any experience with this Is the train better? Thanks!

I prefer the train to buses but if you option to pick between the two take whichever one best fits your schedule.
