1. I know how to read them, but it's difficult to explain how to do it. The best way I can explain it to you is to look @ the place ur going & then check what time the bus is going to arrive @ ur destination.
2. say the bus ride takes 1hr to get to school, and school starts at 8am. you want to take a 7am bus or earlier if your schedule looks like this weekdays 5am ...10..............40......... 6am ..5...20. .....35.....50... 7am ..5..15..25..35..45..55 just scan down the schedule for the hours (looking for 7am) then scan across for minutes (looking for 00) from the example above, the closest bus is 7.05am, too late. now you hae to scan back up to 6am, and scan across for something as close to 7am as possible( like 55) the 6.55am bus. some schedules look like this ................ bus1..bus2..bus3..bus4 home stop 6:30..6:55..7:05..7:15 aisofda stop 6:45..7:05..7:20..7:30 oafeod stop 7:00..7:20..7:35..7:45 isoafea stop 7:20..7:35..7:55..8:05 school stop 7:30..7:55..8:05..8:25 you want to pick that bus that arrives at your school at the hour you want. say taking the 6.55 bus from home which will arrive at school at 7.55am.
3. Most bus schedules are put together as a matrix. You find your starting location, find the time you want to leave, and then just scroll downthe list in that column until you hit your ending location. Look at the time listed there, and that's the time the bus will arrive.
