How we count the minutes
From the centre of each town, walking to a stop within 800 m, on the official timetables of a weekday: departures every 10 minutes from 7:00 to 8:50, waits and changes included. We give the median, and only if at least half of the departures arrive. Under each figure, the lines of the trip.
Where the minutes end
Minutes end at the first stop within 600 m of: Estación de Zona Universitària (metro L3, L9 Sud y tranvía), avinguda Diagonal. The final walk, from the stop to the door, is not counted.
We don't give driving minutes to this point yet: they are not estimated.
