How to Read a Schedule
1. Verify that you have the most up-to-date ACCESS Allegany Schedule by checking the publication date.
2. First, determine which Service Area or Areas you will be traveling within. Each bus time schedule highlights a specific fixed route. For example, Service Area 1 frequents the townships of Belmont, Scio, Wellsville and Stannards.
3. Then, look at the top of each bus time schedule to determine your direction of travel. For example, if you are travel from Wellsville to Belmont, look to see which schedule in Service Area 1 meets your northbound travel plans; "Going Towards: Belmont from Wellsville." Path of travel is also demonstrated on each bus time schedule as a map.
4. Next, consider reading along the left side of the bus time schedule to find your closest bus stop and particular bus destination. This will help you know the order in which the bus will arrive at these stops.
5. Across from each of the stops printed on the bus time schedule, you should be able to see a time when the bus is supposed to arrive at that particular stop. The times listed at the stops is an approximate time. Buses may be later due to road construction, hazardous weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. If you are concerned about your buses arrival or departure time, contact the ACCESS Allegany Call Center at 585-593-1738 to confirm timing.
6. Now consider reading the time schedule vertically. This will help you find out how long it will take for the bus to get from one stop to another. By doing this, you can also determine the time the bus takes to complete its route.
7. Looking across the bus time plans will help you figure out how often buses come at a particular stop. Buses arrive at some stops more frequently in the day time. According to research, the buses tend to hit their peak times during the afternoon as people are looking to go for lunch.
8. By doing some basic math, you can easily determine how often buses reach a particular stop on the route. For instance, if you missed the bus you wanted to take you can read through this information to catch the next bus. Actually, understanding how many times a bus may reach any stop on the bus route is probably the most powerful information you will need to get to the stop on time.
9. If you need to transfer from one Service Area to another to reach your final destination, helpful tips are located on each schedule indicating transfer opportunities. Be sure to let your bus operator know that you will be transferring so he/she may radio the next driver and provide you with a no-cost transfer pass.
