Route Titles
-
The heading of a Route Schedule consists of a route number combined with a route title

A title that includes School-Term Only indicates that the entire route runs only when related schools are in session
-
Service Frequency

A Service Heading labeled Daily means that the same service schedule runs seven-days-a-week

Timetables
-
Timetables consist of a Route Title and a table in which Timepoint locations are the column headings, followed by rows of trips
-
Timepoint locations are major bus stops described in the column header and symbolized with capital letters (A, B, C...) These letters correspond to locations on the Route Map and System Map
-
Each row across the timetable follows that particular trip, showing the departure timepoint and location, and the arrival timepoint and location of the route's destination.
-
In between timepoints, there are usually more stops, which are shown on the maps, but are NOT shown in the timetable
-
A dash ( -- ) in place of an actual timepoint means that timepoint location is not served on that trip
-
Footnotes are sometimes shown under a timetable to convey additional information regarding that route or certain trips or timepoints on that route
-
To estimate when your bus will arrive at your location, reference the closest major timepoint (A,B,C...) described in the column header
-
Google Transit trip plans will always calculate and display a stop's passing time for you
-
School Term (ST) Trips vs School Term Only Routes
-
Some routes designated School Term Only in the Route Title , run when related schools are in session. The School Term Calendar always includes the route schedule when applicable
-
Some routes have special trips marked with School Term (ST) in the timetable, indicating that particular trip only runs when related schools are in session
