Reading a CAT Schedule
-
On each brochure, there are two maps–one for outbound and another for inbound. If you plan to travel away from downtown, select the outbound map. If you would like to go toward downtown, select the inbound map.
-
Next, look at the schedule in the brochure for the day you plan to travel. Some schedules are for Monday-Saturday. Others list separate schedules for Monday-Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
-
Find the numbered timepoint nearest your location on the map. For convenience, all maps are oriented to be read from left to right. The number of the timepoint on the map is the same as the number of its corresponding timetable column.
-
For each timepoint on the map, there is a corresponding column on the schedule below the map. Read down the column to find a convenient time for your trip to begin. If your location is midway between two timepoints, you will need to estimate the time the bus will come by your stop. Shaded times on the schedules tell you when the bus meets the CATconnector van. For more information about CATconnectors, see the section entitled “CATconnector.”
-
Read across the line to the right, to the column for the timepoint nearest your destination. This shows your arrival time. If you are transferring to another bus or CATconnector, find the timepoint for your transfer location. Then refer to the brochure for your second route and repeat steps 1 through 5.
