Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, especially in universities and transport hubs, digital screens are the default way to broadcast timetables. Using “está” (estar) signals a temporary, physical location, which is the natural choice here. Avoid overly formal phrasing like “el horario se halla en…” unless you’re writing a notice.
