Reading the Timetables
Travel times are shown from top to bottom. The driver time points highlighted within the schedule refer to a location point on the corresponding route map. These time points are intended to help a passenger estimate the approximate time the bus will arrive at their designated stop. Route buses stop for passengers at all bus stops and only at bus stops. There are many bus stops between the time points so a passenger should be waiting at least 5 minutes before the closest time point to their pick-up location. All times shown on this guide, on the website or received by phone are approximate and maybe subject to change.
