Scheduled frequencies are the intervals at which buses leave the interchange or terminal. The
frequencies printed in the guide are the average weekday frequencies for both directions at
different times of the day. As the scheduled frequencies are averaged over periods of time, there
may be minor differences from the frequencies printed.
The guide also provides frequencies for Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays which are
obviously different to those of the weekdays.
While the bus operators make every effort to ensure timely release of buses and adherence of
schedules by their drivers, operated frequencies can deviate due to factors beyond their control
such as traffic conditions, road works, accidents, bus breakdowns, inclement weather and
customer loading. Although any of these factors will lengthen the waiting time, bus operators must
aim at achieving 75% schedule adherence most of the time.
Scheduled frequencies are reviewed constantly and adjustments are made when necessary taking
into consideration traffic conditions and customers demand.
