We are traveling to Italy in mid-October, arriving at Rome FCO and traveling to Siena as our first stop. Previously, we traveled via SENA bus from Tiburtina to Piazza Gramsci. However, I haven't been able to find any info about SENA -- schedules, working website, anything. Is it still operating? Has the name changed? I see Flix bus, but it appears to stop only outside Siena.

TJ,
I don't know if SENA is still operating but it looks like Flixbus is the best option now - https://global.flixbus.com/bus-routes/bus-rome-siena .

The Flixbus stops at the Siena train station and there is a long, long escalator to the top of the hill. It's fun. Then you walk a few blocks into the old part of Siena. Or just take a taxi from the train station. We enjoyed the Flixbus round trip Rome-Siena --- very comfortable. Get their app.

Most buses will go into Siena proper and finish at Piazza Gramsci, saving you the long walk or additional taxi. Just check that box for your arrival station and you will see a listing for all of them. The specific bus company really does not matter for this. We just did this in the spring with tickets purchased in advance, could not have been easier.

Thank you all for the responses. I completely missed the side of the Flix website where the Siena options were. Grazie!
