Under normal circumstances and throughout most of the day the buses will arrive at each stop in 20-minute intervals. These intervals will be slightly longer in the middle of the day as each driver must take a meal break which leaves only one bus operating for a 30-minute period. Bus arrival times may occasionally be more spaced out during peak traffic or inclement weather.
