On a public bus, what is the difference between inbound and outbound?

Question

I've never really been big on public transportation, so when I was checking times for when the bus will be at the stops, it says times for inbound and outbound, what is the difference between the two?

Answer 1

Inbound is when it is heading towards the terminal and outbound is heading away.  Many buses stop at the same place twice on a trip (ie a mall or major employer).  once on the way out then on the return trip towards the terminal.

Answer 2

Inbound means it is going to the bus station and outbound means it is going away.

Answer 3

Inbound means it's going into the city and outbound means it's going out from the city.

Answer 4

Usually the bus heading INTO the city (or downtown) area would be called inbound (and vice versa)

Within the city they would NOT use those words.

Good Luck...

Answer 5

Inbound is going towards your destination, outbound is going away from your destination.

Hope this helps.
