Route notes

• OL1 is a limited stop service, so it does not behave like a normal local route stopping at every nearby bus stop.
• The timetable can contain multiple starting points within the orbital pattern, so use the direction and section links carefully.

Scheduled bus times are estimates and can be affected by traffic, weather and road conditions. Arrive at your stop a few minutes before the scheduled departure, especially if you are connecting with another bus or need to reach an appointment by a specific time.

Public holiday services may be different from weekday services. There are no bus services on Good Friday and Christmas Day.
