School Road? Answer

Answer 1

a) To find the arrival time at High Street, you can look at the timetable. The bus leaves Church Street at 07:50, and it takes 6 minutes to reach High Street. Therefore, it should arrive at 07:56.

b) If Mo needs to get to High Street by 7:30 am, the latest bus Mo can catch from the bus station is the one that arrives at High Street before 7:30 am. Looking at the timetable, the bus arriving at High Street at 07:27 is the last one Mo can catch.

c) To determine how long the bus takes to travel from Hope Street to School Road, subtract the departure time from the arrival time. The bus leaves Hope Street at 06:10 and arrives at School Road at 06:37. Therefore, the travel time is 27 minutes.
