How do city buses work in St. Pölten?

On Saturdays they start about an hour later and also run until about 22:00. On Sundays they run between about 07:00 and 20:30, with fewer departures.
Lines 10 to 13 are thinner: lines 11, 12 and 13 run on weekdays only, and line 10 does not run on Sundays. St. Pölten Hauptbahnhof is the hub, served by 16 of the 19 lines in our data. The three-digit numbers (103, 105, 475, 490, 491 and 687) are regional lines with far fewer departures.
