Your best bet there may be to pop into the train station while your are in Florence, and see if a SITA agent there can help with the times for the bus.
As Slawecki said in his note, driving back in can be a chore. There are several threads on Fodor's and Slow Trav about driving in Florence. We opted for the Porta Romana route via Galuzzo. Michellin has (in my opinion) the best maps, but Mappy.com has the best verbal directions.
Don't plan on travelling on May 20-21st! Strike planned. (see my other note/thread here)
