ATAF Buses
Buongiorno,
I suggest that you read this article for a brief overview of the bus system in Florence, it will have some helpful pointers.

This link below shows the prices for the tickets (Biglietto):

There is a bit of a contradiction, the title says 70-minute tickets - but they are actually 90-minute tickets.
In the past, I have used a carnet - which is ten 90-minute rides on one card. Word of caution, it is only good for one person, you can not get one and use it for the entire family. Each memeber of the family must have their own carnet. When you get on the bus, at the front door there is a small green box, just brush the carnet up against it and it will automatically register your use of a ticket. If you were to brush it up again, you will see how much time is remaining on the card.
However, the last time I tried to purchase a carnet I was told they weren't using them anymore because there is a new card called the Unica Toscana(which I understand works a lot like the card above), here is a link to more info about this card which offers multiple rides:

I haven't purchased this new card yet - so I can't give you any first-hand experience.
