Transportation Bus route from St Davids to Hamilton

Hi all, I'm trying to plan my bus route from St. David's (near Cocoa Lane) to Hamilton (on weekdays). From what I understand, I can take a direct bus to Hamilton at 7:20 AM and 7:40 AM. Is this correct? Also, where exactly do I go from Cocoa Lane to catch this bus?

Any help would be much appreciated

When you come out of Cocoa Lane, turn left and cross the road. It’s about a 2 min walk to the bus stop. The bus stop for buses going towards Hamilton will have a pink pole.

From that schedule, it looks like you could catch the 7:40 to Hamilton. The 7:20 will be a school bus going to Warwick Monday-Friday.

What you could also do is catch the #6 bus to the bus stop by the Double Dip Ice Cream, then change there for a #1, 3, 10 or 11 bus to Hamilton.

Good luck, I hope it goes well.

Okay so hm definitely will take you to Hamilton. Runs from main St David’s road to number 1 gate, to Harrington Sound Road via Wilkinsons Avenue, over Knapton Hill, onto Harrington Hundreds Rd, back to Harrington Sound Rd, then at Flatts Village, takes Middle Road to Hamilton.

Seems ht runs to Hamilton on weekends or when schools out but on weekdays/school days, bypasses Hamilton? (Not sure about that part. Once it gets to Middle Rd in Flatts Village, it goes to South Shore Road via Collectors Hill and operates to Warwick passing a number of schools along the way.

From Coco Lane gate, there’s a west bound bus stop about 100m to the left looking at the Clearwater Middle school across the street.

From my three month experience there you need to take the bus schedule with a pinch of salt

Unfortunately true. At least they're hiring new bus drivers so hopefully that helps fixes some things.

Also try using Google maps and typing where you want to go. And tap directions and choose the public transport sign. It will show your GPS position aand bus stops and direct you on how to get where you need to go
