timetables

Printed departure listings

Timetables are schedules showing when events are planned to occur, particularly the arrival and departure times of buses, trains, and other transportation.

In British usage, a timetable is also a student's class schedule.

The verb timetable means to schedule something: The meeting has been timetabled for Thursday.

If something runs like clockwork, it adheres to a timetable precisely.
