Using Timetables

Reading a timetable

Reading a timetable

A timetable shows when something happens
For example, a train timetable shows when the trains arrive and leave the station.

Example

Example

When does Bus B arrive at the library?
- Find the column showing Bus B
- Find the row showing the library
- The time where the row and column meet is the answer

Finding a journey time

Finding a journey time

How long does Bus A take to go from the park to the station?
- Bus $A$$ leaves the park at $$09{:}10$$ and reaches the station at $$09{:}30$
- Count on from $09{:}10$$ to $$09{:}30$
- The journey time is $20$ minutes
