The Aeropark Bayline (NMC Aero-Park Campus and Aero-Park Dr @ 3-Mile Rd) is paused for the summer, so all Bayline buses travel to Woodland Creek Monday - Saturday for a 15 minute frequency on the entire Bayline.  The Bayline runs every 30 minutes on Sunday. Green highlights in the schedule below (Bus B) will not operate on Sunday.
