Trip times run from the centre of each neighbourhood to Trg bana Jelačića, door to door. We compute them from ZET's timetable (GTFS, valid 28 Sept 2026–31 Dec 2026) for one weekday (17 Nov 2026): a departure every 10 minutes between 07:00–08:50, with the walk to and from the stop, a change when that's faster, and on foot when walking is faster. We show the median, so waiting is included. Timetable source: ZET, under the Open Licence of the Republic of Croatia.
