Enter the name or number of your line and download the pdf. There you will find the schedule for your line for each stop during the day. Unfortunately the website is in French and not very practical. We would encourage you to find a map with the schedule. They can be found on the bus line or in the T2C office at this address 24, bd Charles de Gaulle, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, all freely accessible. At each stop, there is always a map and a schedule for the line that you want to travel from.
