What goes wrong on this line
Despite its name, every all-year line 206 trip from Ponta Delgada ends at Mosteiros (Banda de Além) with no printed time at any Sete Cidades stop [source]. The village is reached only by the weekday shuttle from Ramal Mosteiros (Merendário) at 16:55 (lakes 17:15) and its 17:15 return, by the Saturday 07:00 trip from Mosteiros that loops through the village at 07:16, by the Sunday 18:00 return from the lakes, and by the June-to-September 18:20 outbound and 20:00 return [source]. Read the stop rows, not the line name.

Season codes in the column headers: A = All year (Anual) · JS = June to September only · E = School days only (Escolar).
2 printed trips are short workings: the trip covers only part of the line, and its first printed time is not at the line's first stop. The tables show exactly which stops each trip serves.
