Transferring to other DowneyLINK routes is easy as all routes depart the transfer center at the same time. So If you need to make a connection to another DowneyLINK bus to reach your destination, just ask the driver for a transfer ticket when you board. It’s free! The transfer Is marked with a time limit, and it must be given to another DowneyLINK driver before the time expires, or you will have to pay the full fare of 25 cents again.

If you board DowneyLINK before the route reaches the transfer point and you are continuing on the same route to reach your destination, ask the driver for a "continuing ride ticket".

Read from left to right to find how long it takes to reach each major stop listed on the schedule (these major stops are called timepoints) for each route. The departure time from the transfer point on Firestone in front of Stonewood Center Mall, is listed in the first column on the left, and the arrival time back at Firestone is listed in the last column on the right.

Between each timepoint shown on the schedule are additional bus stops which are not listed (see insert in this brochure for the listing of all stops). To board at a bus stop not listed on the schedule, you would locate the timepoint closest to your stop and use the schedule as a guide. Always use the earlier timepoint as your guide so you will be at your bus stop a few minutes before the bus. Please note that these times are not always exact because of traffic so please plan accordingly.
