FAQ

Does Route 506 operate on public holidays?

To check holiday operating times for Route 506, select the holiday week from our calendar and find the specific day.

Our timetables are organized by week (e.g., 10 March - 16 March) and follow service patterns. If a public holiday falls on a specific day—such as Thursday—check if that day (Thursday or your chosen day) is listed in the timetable. If it appears, the route operates as shown; if it’s missing, there is no service on that holiday.

Always check the published schedule for accurate holiday availability.

Are there maps available to view the Route 506 journey?

Yes, interactive maps are available for all Route 506 journeys. To view these maps, simply click on any specific departure time in the timetable. You'll notice each time displays a superscript letter (for example, 08:00 A, 09:00 B, 10:00 A). These letters indicate journey patterns - identical letters represent identical routes.

For instance, if 08:00 A and 10:00 A share the same letter, they follow identical routes, while 09:00 B takes a different path. Always check the specific journey map for your intended travel time as routes may vary throughout the day.

How can I find Route 506 stops near me?

Our interactive maps display both the complete journey path and all stops along Route 506.

To access these maps, click on any departure time in the timetable as explained in the FAQ item above. The interactive map will show your selected journey's route and all designated stops, allowing you to identify which stops are closest to your location.
