San Francisco MUNI TRANSPORT ( online schedules)?

I am having problems interpreting the schedule itineraries. I lived in Los Angeles and we used Metro and the online instructions were soooo much easier to understand.... can someone help me ... http://tripplanner.transit.511.org/mtc/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?name_origin=2130+fulton+st&place_origin=San%20Francisco&name_destination=59+new+montgomery&place_destination=San%20Francisco&verifyAnyLocViaLocServer=1&convertStopsPTKernel2LocationServer=1&anyHitListReductionLimit=20&useProxFootSearch=1&coordListOutputFormat=STRING&language=en&anySigWhenPerfectNoOtherMatches=1&imageFormat=PNG&imageWidth=250&imageHeight=200&imageWidthO=500&imageHeightO=400&imageOnly=1&imageNoTiles=1&nextDepsPerLeg=1&locationServerActive=1&requestID=0&sessionID=0&type_origin=any&anyObjFilter_origin=0&type_destination=any&anyObjFilter_destination=0&itdLPxx_riderCategory=Regular&trITMOT=100&trITMOTvalue=12&ptOptionsActive=1&itOptionsActive=1&selOP=1&useOnly=1&preferIncl=1&preferExcl=1&changeSpeed=normal&includedMeans=checkbox&inclMOT_0=on&inclMOT_5=on&inclMOT_9=on& when I am looking at 4:43pm it tells me to: Board, SE Corner of Fulton St & Clayton St (next 4:48pm) I AM CONFUSED BECAUSE I DONT UNDERSTAND (NEXT 4:48PM) --- DOES THIS MEAN THAT I WILL GET OFF NEXT AT 4:48 OR DOES THIS MEAN THAT IF I MISS THIS BUS, I CAN CATCH THE "NEXT" BUS AT 4:48 ---- another thing that confuses me is that the next set of instructions tells me to OFF BOARD at 5:03 after it says OFF BOARD, it says (20 minute ride).... ---- if I have off boarded, how can i be on a 20 minute ride... **** CAN SOMEONE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE SCHEDULE? I WILL GIVE 5 STARS...

1. dont bother looking at the schedule, they never come on time. a pretty good rule of thumb is leave about an hour before the place you need to get to unless its close-by but referring to your question. it means the next bus is at 4:48 and yea 20 minute ride from when you get on to when you get off
