About the S. Silvestro – Rialto C crossing
Every one of the 98 weekly sailings on this route runs after eight in the evening. Fourteen departures between 20:23 and 23:44 cover a tenth of a nautical mile — three or four minutes — along the Grand Canal.
The reason is that this is the night configuration of a daytime service. Through the day the same stretch is worked by other lines and other pontoons; after dark the network contracts onto fewer boats and fewer stops, and S. Silvestro to Rialto C becomes a scheduled leg in its own right.
S. Silvestro sits behind the Rialto market on the San Polo bank, a few hundred metres of built-up canal frontage from the bridge itself. Walking it takes about five minutes. The boat exists for people carrying something, arriving late, or heading for a vaporetto that no longer stops where it did at midday.
