• Times listed on the schedule are departure times. Travelers should be at the pick-up location at least five minutes before the scheduled departure time.
• If a traveler misses a bus and there is a shuttle scheduled for later that same day, the traveler can use their original ticket on the next shuttle.
• If a traveler misses a bus and there is not a shuttle scheduled for later that same day, the traveler will need to find alternative transportation to their destination.
• Travelers that miss a bus due to airline and weather delays and if there are no later shuttles that same day are able to request a refund for the unused ticket by contacting Northfield Lines.
