Hi TONYHKLEE,
Welcome to MySwissAlps.
There is only 1 bus which travels directly from Tirano to Lugano daily. This is the Bernina Express bus (which is part of the Bernina Express panoramic route). The bus leaves Lugano at 14.20 and the journey takes about 3 hours. Seat reservation is compulsory. You can find more information here: http://www.myswissalps.com/berninaexpress/tickets
