How to read COAST schedules:

When you look at a COAST schedule, you might see some words and a lot of numbers and be quickly confused - don't worry, it happens to everyone! This explanation should clear things up for you.

example 1: schedules only show times for some stops, but there are others in betweenCOAST schedules only show times for some of the bus stops. In between those times are many other bus stops that you can wait at or get off at, all along the route. We usually have a bus stop every 1/4 mile along the road. In other words, if you live near High Street in Somersworth but not near Wal-Mart or Charpentier Apts., there is probably a closer stop on the bus stop listing. Click on the image, right, to enlarge the example.

For example, let's say you live near Dover City Hall and you want to go to Portsmouth's Market Square. You would take the Route 2 Southbound bus. The City Hall stop is between Dover Transportation Center and St. Thomas HS. It is closer to Dover Transportation Center, so you can assume it will come a few minutes after the bus leaves that point -- if you wanted to get to Market Square by 3:00pm, you would go to the bus stop around 2:00, since the bus goes to Dover Transportation Center at 2:05, and it's good to be a few minutes early.
