Getting from Taormina to Palermo in the quickest way on 3/29 (saturday)?

Question

Not sure if renting a car would be a good idea we will only be in Taormina for 2 days and then palermo for 2 days. I have heard I need to take a bus from taormina to catania then to Palermo. Or I could take a train that takes FOREVER 5-6 hours and is not dependable. What do we do??? I would like to leave taormina as early as possible in the morning so we can enjoy palermo for the 2 full days.....Thanks!!!
