How to Read a Bus Schedule
How to Read a Bus Schedule
Look for the day of the week you plan to travel.
Figure out which direction on the route you want to go.
Look under the heading for your preferred direction.
Find the column for your bus stop. If your bus stop is not listed, find the column for the stop that comes before yours.
Find the listed time that’s closest to when you want to travel. Don’t forget to check whether it’s AM or PM.
Plan to arrive at your stop five minutes before the listed bus arrival time. The uncertainty of street traffic makes setting departure times an inexact science, and so we recommend you arrive a bit earlier than what's listed on the schedule.
To avoid delays, please have your exact fare ready when boarding.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning your trip.
RTS bus schedules show the major intersections or stops on your route. Make sure that a time is listed for your destination. If no time is listed on the schedule for the major stop or intersection, the bus will not stop at that location. There are, however, bus stops along the route in between the stops indicated on the schedule that may not be listed. To make sure your bus stops at your preferred location, please give us a call 585-288-1700.
When you’re looking at the schedule, check to see if a letter appears in front of your chosen travel time. A letter means that there’s important information for you in the Special Travel Code footnotes. Look through the footnotes for that Travel Code letter to learn more about your route, travel times or other details.
On suburban or long-distance routes, Bus Operators may stop on request to pick up or discharge customers.
Be aware that schedules are different for weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Be sure you choose the right schedule for your trip!
