If you need a ticket...From: Venice Waterbus Stops
ABOVE: An ACTV inspector checks a passenger's ticket. ACTV really wants you to have a ticket that you've swiped against an electronic reader before you board. It's illegal to be on a waterbus platform without a validated ticket, and stations are gradually being upgraded with paddle-style gates to encourage compliance. Fortunately, there's now an easy way to buy ACTV transit tickets on the spot: Just use your bank card (such as a Visa or MasterCard) as you enter the pontile or vaporetto pier. When you hold your card against the electronic validator, the system will automatically charge you the appropriate fare. As a bonus, the system will monitor your rides over a period of several days and upgrade you automatically to a tourist pass if that will save you money.
If you're a "cash only" type of person and don't have a bank card, not to worry. At many stations, you can also buy ACTV tickets from ticket counters or ticket machines.
