HTM Introduces New Timetable: What’s Changing from Monday?
Public transport users in West-Friesland are set to welcome a new timetable from HTM, with the new schedule kicking in from Monday, October 11th. The changes aim to enhance reliability, improve connections, and offer more frequent services on certain routes. Let’s explore what’s changing and how it might affect your daily commute.
Enhanced Reliability and Better Connections
HTM has been working behind the scenes to refine its service, focusing on reliability and connection times. The new timetable promises more accurate arrival times, reducing the likelihood of delayed buses and improving overall punctuality. This is good news for passengers who rely on tight connections to ensure a smooth journey.
More Frequent Services on Popular Routes
Several popular routes will see an increase in service frequency. The bustling 300 and 360 routes, which serve Hoorn, Dankerweg, and Wognum, will now run every 15 minutes during peak hours. This will make it easier for commuters to catch a bus, even at peak travel times.
Later Services on Selected Routes
Some routes will also see extended late-night services. The 301, 311, 350, and 370 routes will now run later into the night, catering to those who work late shifts or enjoy a night out in Hoorn. However, it’s essential to check the new timetable for exact departure times, as not all late-night departures are directly connected to previous services.
Minor Changes Affecting Some Routes
While the majority of changes focus on enhancing reliability and frequency, there are some minor adjustments to several routes:
- The 301 will no longer serve the A2 bus stop in Hoorn due to the creation of a new bus lane.
- The 350 will see some route changes in Schellinkhout and Enkhuizen to improve connection times.
Prepare for Your Journey
HTM recommends that all passengers check the new timetable before they travel to ensure a smooth transition. The new timetable will be available on the HTM website, the 9292 app, and at HTM customer service points from October 4th.
With these improvements, HTM continues its commitment to providing reliable, efficient, and convenient public transport options for West-Friesland residents. For more information and updates, stay tuned to HTM’s official channels.
