The journey counts reflect services scheduled to run today — not a yearly average — which is why they move from day to day. Operators set the times and can change them, so confirm before travelling.

What catches people out
Assuming one ticket covers everything
Leap works on TFI services, not on private coaches. Check the operator on the route card before you rely on it.
Trusting the terminus time
The headline departure time is from the first stop. Your stop may be twenty minutes later — open the route page for times from where you actually board.
Weekends and evenings
Weekend timetables in Lisburn are lighter than weekday ones and Sunday is lighter again. Some routes on this page run Monday to Friday only. The journey counts shown are for today, so check the route page itself if you are planning for a different day.
