Everything You Need to Know About Timetables

On this page, we will explain everything you need to know about timetables: where to find them and, most importantly, how to read them. Step by step, you’ll learn how to locate your stop, understand when the bus will arrive, and which tools to use to best plan your journey.


Why is it important to know how to read timetables? It’s simple: knowing how to read timetables allows you to plan your trips efficiently, avoiding unnecessary waits and stress.  Additionally, it will make you more independent and help you explore your city or other places you wish to visit.


Have a great journey!

On our website, you can find both scheduled and real-time timetables. Where can you find them?  

 

  • Lines and Timetables: Once you've found your preferred line, select your stop, choose the day and time of departure, and click on "Stop Timetables." Icons will help you understand if the displayed time is real-time  or scheduled 

 

  • Travel Planner: Plan your journey and open the drop-down menu for the most suitable solution. You’ll immediately find the times of the bus stops along the line: real-time schedules are shown in green with wave symbols, while scheduled times are in black.

 

  • Timetables in PDF format: These only contain scheduled times and are very useful for planning trips in advance. However, always check closer to your departure to ensure no changes have occurred!  You can find them on the page for your chosen line, at the bottom of the section. As the name suggests, these are PDF timetables showing only scheduled stops, with a list of the main stops served by that line (but not every stop). They are divided into two blocks, depending on the service (winter or summer).  At certain times of the year, both buttons may be active, allowing you to check current schedules and plan upcoming trips. For example, around the start of the school year, summer schedules may still be in effect, but you’ll also find provisional winter ones in this format.

Printed Timetables (scheduled)

 

At every stop, you’ll always find the scheduled timetables for bus arrivals. 
Keep in mind that buses travelling on roads are affected by traffic, interruptions, accidents, roadworks, or other unexpected events. For this reason, if possible, we recommend checking real-time departures using digital tools.
At the stop, you’ll find two types of timetables: those used mainly for urban lines within the city and those used both in and outside the city for suburban lines.

 

URBAN LINES


The stop marked in red is the one where you are.


SUBURBAN LINES


These timetables show the scheduled times in chronological order, the line number (coloured in blue or purple, depending on whether the line is suburban or express), the destination, and the main stops.

 

Electronic Signage (real-time)


These come in various formats, but all display only real-time schedules.
