Usage notes
- Use orario for opening hours, work hours, and transport schedules. For a specific appointment time, use ora: A che ora?
- L'orario often means a recurring timetable; programma is broader for plans, events, or software schedules.
- Common pattern: essere in orario = to be on time. Don't say in tempo when you mean punctual arrival.
