What do “Late” and “Early” mean?

When the company reports the bus's status, the card says whether it's late or early, and by how many minutes.

“On time” means it's running as expected. “Late 5 min” means it's running five minutes behind schedule. “Early 5 min” means it's five minutes ahead.

For intercity buses, the card may also say from which stop it fell behind or got ahead. That makes it more precise.

If none of these words appear, it's because at that moment the company isn't reporting the bus's status.

• What does a bus's card say?It's what shows up when you tap a bus: its line, where it's going, its number, the next stop and how it's moving.
• Are the minutes exact?No, they're approximate and can vary by a couple of minutes. They update on their own while you watch.
