Journey Planning Many regular bus route users don’t need to bother to look at a time table, but: What if the timetable changes? What if you need to travel at a different time or on a new route? What if you are not in your home area?

Journey Planning

Looking at a paper bus time table Right timetable for route Check day of week Check in-bound and out-bound sections Understand 24hr clock Understand why there may be gaps in the table Understand what Sch and SHol mean Understand what ‘And then at these mins past each hour until’ means

Journey Planning THIS SECTION NEEDS CUSTOMISING FOR EACH PRESENTATION Copies of bus time table(s) covering the school should be provided Ask the young people to decide which bus they should catch from x to get to Y by Z Have a couple of examples ready
