How to Read the Bus Schedule
- Find Your Bus Route: Look for the name or number of your bus route on the schedule. Each route has its own schedule, so make sure you’re viewing the correct one for your trip.
-
Understand Bus Designations: Bus times may have numbers and letters that show which bus it is and its direction. For example, 1S means the first bus heading south, while 2W means the second bus heading west. This system helps you identify the right bus when multiple buses run on the same route.
-
Days of the Week: Check the days of the week at the top of the schedule. The bus times may be different on weekdays, weekends, or holidays.
- Look at the Time: Find the time you want to catch the bus. The schedule shows when the bus will arrive at each “timed stop.” Additional stops are locations the bus goes to that are not listed with specific times on the schedule. The bus will reach these stops sometime between the timed stops.
- Arrive Early: Be at your bus stop early — arriving at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time is recommended. Buses run on a set schedule and will not wait for late passengers.
That’s it! Reading the bus schedule is easy. If you have any questions, feel free to ask your driver or call North Central RTD customer service representatives at 866-206-0754, ext. 1.
