The vaporetti can be reached at short intervals. No long waiting times. The lines and letters of the landing stage are clearly signposted at the stations, as are the waiting times for the various lines.

It was easy to hop and off vaporettos. It is great for night time rides which are the most beautiful. The rides are very expensive but this makes multiple rides per day manageable and affordable.
