Buses tend to run on time. Not overcrowded, but the 2 tier schedule structure can mean a very long wait if on the second tier and the first tier has already left. Bottom line is allow a two and a half transit time if you are going somewhere, even if it's a ten minute ride by car, can mean more than a two hour ride for the bus. The bus service does not seem to cater to the working people, but to those that are on disability, retired, or not working.
Weekend service is worse. Prepare for over an hour layover at the transit center if you are on a different tier schedule. I had a bus show up four minutes early and the driver kept going, meaning because this is Saturday, another hour and ten minute wait. Sunday, would have been worse
If you can find another way to get somewhere, try that. I hope that sometime in the future that Lexington gets a real bus service and realize people time is important.
