The vaporetto is a Venetian public waterbus.
Vaporettos serve locales within Venice, and travel between Venice and nearby islands, such as Murano, Burano, and Lido.
The name, vaporetto, could be translated as "little steamer", and refers to similarly purposed ships in the past that were run by steam. The natives call the vaporetto batèlo or vaporino.
