Does anyone know Sicily reasonably well?

[blamebrampton]

I have a young friend who will be travelling to Sicily in six weeks. This is her first big trip, and I was hoping that someone on this list would have a passing familiarity with the trains, buses, etc and be able to give her some general advice. I am kicking myself for losing contact with every actual Sicilian I have ever met …

Fingers crossed, you can comment here or email me at blamebrampton@gmail.com, and thanks in advance!

I asked a friend who is from Italy, and this is what she wrote:

Hi, I'm from Italy :)
To Sicily I've never been, but I've found some general info:

Trains:

Bus to reach various places (sorry, this one I've found only in Italian)
http://www.regione.sicilia.it/turismo/trasporti/arcautolinee/orari_bus/autolinee.htm

If she is in a particular city, there will be "autobus" to reach various streets and such, but probably she is better asking locally (perhaps at the place where she sleeps) which one to take :)

Hope she has a nice trip :)
