Pay
attention! These timetables are very complicated! It is
impossible to do a round trip in one day. There are several routes criss-crossing and overlapping with each other. I cannot show all the stopping places here. For all the times at all the little villages please go to the official website and find the timetables for each route. Buses run on certain days of the week only as shown by the codes below. None of these buses run at weekends or holidays |
