Intercity Buses' own route 42 page, read on 6 October 2026 in a person's browser (the site refuses automated reading), prints the same departures on Saturdays and Sundays both ways (20 from Larnaca, 06:30–20:35; 20 from Nicosia, 07:00–21:45) and on Mon–Fri for 28 of 30 departures each way, but differs for four weekday buses. From Larnaca the page's first two weekday buses, 05:50 and 05:55, are marked as starting from Ag. George Church; the data's first two leave the Larnaca stop at 05:40 and 05:45 and are timed 06:00 at Ag. Georgios Church, so no departure in the data matches either page time. From Nicosia the page's 14:20 and 14:25 (marked as a modified route in Nicosia) are not Solomos Square departures in the data, which has two trips that start at Apelli and at Kinyra at 14:20 and are timed 14:27 and 14:29 at Iras. The pairs are not matched. Check Intercity Buses' page for these buses.
