When is the next 554 bus?
The arrival boards on this page show live 554 arrival times at key stops along the route, updated every 60 seconds.

How often does the 554 run?
Buses run every 15-30 minutes during peak hours with limited off-peak service. Primarily a peak-hour commuter route with some midday and evening service.
