History

[edit]

The first testing of a regular public transportation service took place in 1881 when the firstQueen Margheritavaporettowas used for transport along theGrand Canal.The service was then acquired by the French company, the Compagnie des Bateaux Omnibus, which operated eight steamers until 1890. It was then replaced by the Società Veneta Lagunare, who subsequently extended the line by offering routes towards the mainland. In 1903, theMunicipality of Veniceapproved the direct management of the mainland services to ACNI (Azienda Comunale per la Navigazione Interna) the then ACNIL, which began its operation in 1904.

With the opening of thePonte della Libertàin 1933, and the newly constructed car terminal inPiazzale Roma,ACNIL extended its management to supervising over theVenice-Mestresection, while the Società Anonima Tramvie of Mestre managed the remaining areas.

In 1941, ACNIL was given clearance to directly manage the land transportation on theLido Island.This happened following the cessation of the tram service by the Compagnia Italiana Grandi Alberghi (CIGA) who managed the island up until that point.

DuringWorld War II,a large part of the fleet of boats was used by theItalian Armyand theNavyfor military practice purposes and by the end of the War, many of the vessels were found sunken or seriously damaged. Following this, a program aimed at repairing and replacing the boats as well as updating the ancillary parts of the service (landing points,piersandpontoons) was put into place.

In 1965, ACNIL acquired the transport service ofMestreand the mainland, taking over from Società Filovie Mestre. In 1966, thetrolleybuseswere phased out and the entire fleet was replaced with buses.

On 1 October 1978, the Company of the Venetian Transport Consortium (ACTV) was founded.

In 1996, a night bus service was introduced which replaced the routes that the regular buses took.

In 2006, the ACTV corporate offices were transferred toTronchetto.

During theCOVID-19 pandemic in Italy,the ACTV was forced to cut services considerably, particularly the vaporetti.[1]
