Livorno to Pisa Bus Service

As an alternative to the train, the Livorno-Pisa route is also run by the CPT (Pisa bus company). 

The CPT bus service Livorno-Pisa takes about an hour because it goes via the small coastal towns of Tirrenia and Marina di Pisa (popular for their beaches in the summer).
