Venice People Mover station mural Venice's People Mover, which opened in April, 2010, offers quick (and wheelchair-accessible) connections between three points on the edge of the city's historic center:

The Piazzale Roma, where locals and visitors arrive in the city by public bus, airport bus, taxi, or car.
The Marittima cruise terminal, where many passenger ships arrive and depart. (Caveat: The Marittima station is located just outside the Marittima port entrance, which means that passengers need to walk to or from their ships.)
The Tronchetto parking island, which has indoor and outdoor parking for thousands of cars and is also the arrival point for most tour buses.

Venice People Mover sign - Piazzale Roma station The People Mover is a cable-operated tram system that's similar to the automated shuttles in many large airports.
