An image showing bus route 34 timetable instructions. The left side lists bus stops from South Hill Park & Ride to SC Transit Center. On the right, three steps are highlighted: 1. Press 'Timetable,' 2. Select 'To South Hill P&R,' 3. Select 'Sundays/Holidays.'.

Unless your route is one of the exceptions noted, subtract two hours from that time to determine your departure time.

A bus route timetable showing stops from SCC Transit Center to South Hill Park & Ride. Departure times for each stop are marked, with some times crossed out in red, indicating that the bus scheduled for 5:50 AM from SCC Transit Center is no longer active.

Routes with early service will maintain the same frequency as the posted schedule intervals.

Examples:

The left column below shows Route 34, which is posted to start at 7:50 am and run every hour. So for MLK Jr. Day, service will instead begin at 5:50 am with the next departure at 6:50 am.

The column on the right shows Route 21, where service is posted to begin at 6:15 am and run every 30 minutes. For this route, service will begin only one hour earlier, so service begins at 5:15 am with the next departure 30 minutes later at 5:45 am.

The image shows two sets of time intervals. On the left, "1 hour interval" is labeled with times 5:50, 6:50, 7:50, and 8:50. On the right, "30 minute interval" is labeled with times 5:15, 5:45, 6:15, and 6:45. For each set, the starting times are paired with their subsequent intervals.
