Options to reach the Tronchetto parking area

[Lazy in NC]

Is it possible to take a taxi from Piazzale Roma to the Tronchetto parking area to meet the cruise ship buses to Ravenna instead of taking the people mover? If this has been addressed, I apologize. I tried to search without success. Thank you!

If you can get one to accept the short trip, it's only about a mile.

Tronchetto is an enormous parking lot, therefore accessible to cars, so a taxi COULD go there, but as eurocruiser said, they might not want to bother with such a paltry fare.  I think the minimum fare is 10e so be sure to ask what they're going to charge you for that mile. 

This article indicates that vaporetto #2 stops at Tronchetto. Depending on where you're staying, perhaps that might be an option. (the link also has info/video on the PeopleMover)

Thank you! I didn’t realize it was so close. My husband has some mobility issues so was unsure how he would handle the people mover with luggage.

There are elevators at both ends of the People Mover. It’s about as easy as it gets in Venice.
