Running time is the difference between the first and last printed times of the longest trip (Furnas → Ribeira Quente: 20 min, 07:15–07:35) (Ribeira Quente → Furnas: 20 min, 07:40–08:00). AzoresBus prints no frequency and no journey time; both are read from the table, not stated by the operator.

What goes wrong on this line

The weekend columns are printed for June to September only (09:40 and 18:05 from Furnas, 10:30 and 18:55 back); outside those months there is no weekend bus to the Ribeira Quente beach [source]. Two of the six weekday trips run on school days only (13:50 and 16:20) and one in June to September only (10:00) [source].
