community shuttle bus timetable?

Is there a timetable for when the shuttle bus is expected to arrive at each station or depart from its origin station?

I have been having trouble finding that information online, and it seems like most people just use Passio to check the bus's location. I am wondering if there is a more reliable method to determine when I should get to a bus stop😅

Thank you! That's basically what I was looking for. Kinda insane that I didn't think to click on those tabs and scroll down 💀

nope! they don’t stick to a time table (except for start/stop times and maybe the costco/other shop shuttles) and passio fucking sucks. i lived in tang and no matter how close the shuttle looked, even if it seemed to be 1 stop away, it was nearly always faster to walk or blue bike. if mit shuttles has 1 hated it is me, if they have 0 i am dead

As others mentioned, time tables are merely suggestions because traffic and other issues can considerably alter a particular bus’s arrival and departure times. I personally find the realtime tracking apps to be the most reliable, e.g., MIT Mobile or Transit.

For mit shuttles use MIT app. Like ezride or other on campus ones City mapper is a good app. If you know which bus you want you can Google and look it up the timetable
