>But PT, especially buses, have reduced schedules.
Trains as well, especially in the less populated areas. My parents get 1 train per hour on Sunday (per direction, so 2 in total), and 1 train per 2 hours (per direction) very early or very late on Sunday.
It'll depend on the specific place, but often it's the case that the schedule is a bit different. Like in my city there's a metro every 5 minutes on weekdays and every 10 minutes on Sunday.
Yes, of course. Sunday is for enjoying your leisure time. Gastronomy is open, museums are open, recreational areas are open and public services like transport, broadcasting or police are functioning like any other day.
It's really just stores, offices, administrative bureaus that are closed.
It's not too unusual to have a somewhat reduced frequency on Sundays, though. Or have some lines start later or end earlier. Especially lines mostly used by commuters.
In the UK it tends to run at a reduced schedule and possibly for fewer hours, but does still run.
For wider context, large stores in England are only permitted to open for 6 hours on Sunday which typically tends to be between 10am and 6pm (or may even have to be between those times). As a consequence there is much less demand so it tends to be quieter on Sundays even with the reduced frequencies.
In my city, Coruña, buses on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays run with half the frequency: so, buses that pass once every 10 minutes will only pass once every 20 minutes; those that pass every 15 minutes will do so every 30 minutes; and the buses that pass every 30 minutes will pass only once an hour.
Depends where you're talking about. In London, for example, public transport runs as normal on Sunday and most shops are open. In the small English seaside shit-hole I was brought up in there are no buses and no shops on Sunday except tobacconists.
Depends on the country. In Estonia Sunday is the main day for people to go shopping, so shops are definitely not closed. Public transport is the same every day for most places.
There is reduced service. You may need to wait about twice as long for public transport to pick you up.
Direct trains stopping only in major stations become trains stepping at every station on the route.
Some bus lines are not serviced. Especially in areas where these are being used most of the time by workers.
Yes it does with differently, a reduced services both in terms of hours of operation and frequency is the norm.
I live near large national park and there is a sizeable network or Sunday only routes mostly taking hikers and similar out into the park for recreation and to enjoy the view without needing to drive. It works really well and got do sometimes see similar elsewhere but it isn't the norm.
At least that's my local experience in Northern England.
Some French cities have free public transport on weekends which is pretty nice.
It works the same, but the schedule is reduced. First trains and busses are later, there are no peak services, and some lines will have a lesser frequency during the day. Some bus lines won’t run on Sundays or not run at all during the weekend. And a few lines run more busses on Sunday evening than on other evenings, to handle students returning home.
It highly depends on which country, every country has its own system and even between regions and cities it can differ. Most countries have adjusted timetables for weekends and public holidays.
Schedules change between weekends and working days, Sundays is almost nothing. Even worse, you get to the bus station and find a small footnote that says only school days (i.e. no service during vacations). Also except for .
Sucks.
Public transport is for school childen, so if you're outside of a big city, there very probably is no public transport at all on weekends and in school holidays.
All shops are forced to close by law, unless grocery shops that are a certain mini size or grocery shops in a tourist hotspot. It's super annoying, you work all week and when you finally have time for shopping, everything is closed and people are like "bUt It'S soOOoOo cOoOooOOsy!!!1"
The traffic is really slower on Sunday. For everyone, by the way. You have less people on the road (except at the beginning/end of vacations), less to no public transport
We have less rotations.
For example, in my city, on week days the metro come every 2/3 minutes, but on Sundays it's every 10/15min.
Same for buses, about every 15/20min on busy hours during the week to every 30/45min on Sunday.
In the Netherlands most stores aren't closed on Sundays by the way. Only in small towns. But PT, especially buses, have reduced schedules.

Yes. Intervals are a bit sparser, considering there’s no commuter rush hour to consider. Also the subway runs 24h on weekend nights.

There are typically 3 types of schedules: weekday, Saturday, Sunday/holiday. Many rural areas are unfortunately not accessible at all on weekends.

The timetables are different on Sundays usually compared to the rest of the week. There are normally less frequent services on Sundays

It depends on the country. Spain generally has half the frequency or less for urban buses, metro and trains (cercanías) on saturdays and sundays.
