The July 2026 WeGo system map contains a frequency table showing approximately how often different routes run. These are planned service intervals, not live arrival times or promises that every bus will arrive on the minute.

|---|---|---|---|
| 3 West End | About every 10 min | About every 15 min | Frequency becomes less frequent in some evening periods; A/B patterns matter. |
| 7 Hillsboro | About every 15 min | About every 20 min | Evening service intervals vary. |

Visual comparison: planned daytime frequency
Shorter bars represent shorter waits between scheduled buses. These examples compare different published daytime service patterns rather than real-time traffic performance.
The chart shows the relative lengths of published service intervals; it is not a real-time countdown.
How to Interpret a WeGo Timetable
WeGo publishes departure and arrival times at selected major stops called timepoints. A dash in the timetable means the particular trip does not serve that timepoint.
| Route / trip example | From | To | Scheduled duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 West End — A Downtown | White Bridge Pike, 4:51 AM | Central Bay 5, 5:13 AM | 22 minutes |
| 3 West End — B Downtown | Coley Davis Park & Ride, 5:11 AM | Central Bay 5, 5:53 AM | 42 minutes |
| 18 Airport — Downtown via Elm Hill | BNA, 6:17 AM | Central Bay 4, 6:53 AM | 36 minutes |
To find the first and last bus, identify your direction and actual boarding stop, then look at the first and final available trips for that service date. Overnight journeys after midnight can appear in the previous service day’s late-night schedule.
