Bus timetable

Hello, I'm a little bit confused on how to read these timetables. The pictures are just an example.
So this is line 701 Famjin-Oravik-Ferjulega-Tvoroyri-Nes...Samdvik.

line shows an x, okay that means all weekdays from Monday to Friday, but then there appears to be sign T) on time 07:15 and guide says that it means only by request. Does that mean that regular bus will actually start going at 07:30? Also there are no shown times when would the bus arrive/depart at Ferjulega, Tvoroyri... all till Sandvik(not shown in pictures). Does that mean that there are two busses on x , one that starts at 07:15 and another at 07:30? And does that mean that the bus only goes until Oravik and not further? Why are there no times shown for all other places except the first two?
Then there are third(6) and fourth(134) line
Here you can see that there are singles signs T) without time. What is that supposed to mean? Something like I can request the bus at any time that suits me?
And finally fifth(135) line that is marked green(only on school days on specific season). Can I as a traveler with travel card go on it or is it only for students? Why are all slots empty except for the one in 13:10? Does that mean that the bus departs only from that town at that time and that I can't catch it at Famjin?

This post is really long I'm sorry but it is also quite confusing and I just want to be sure that I'm reading it correctly.
Thank you!

Need some advice and info

Hello, I'm 20 years old and I'm travelling alone in 13 days. I found some information on the websites but I didn't really understand it so was thinking maybe here someone could help me.

So the first thing would be renting an e-bike.
Initially I was planning on using a public transport but I read on other posts that it is not (busses) really reliable so I was thinking maybe I can rent an e-bike and bring it with myself everywhere except on hikes where I would leave it in the nearby town (if I can lock it onto a specifically designed spot). Also another point would be that I would bring it with myself on the bus (I don't know if locals/drivers find it irritating, also read online that bikes are allowed on busses) but if there is no bus I would ride it myself which would save me from waiting longer/next bus?
Do you think it would be a lot of hassle? Are there any specifically designed spots for leaving bikes in smaller towns or can I chain it to some sign (road sign for example)? Any other advice/idea?

Another thing is that I don't understand how travel card works.
If I'm going to rent an e-bike I don't think I'll buy it for a whole week. But I don't understand do I need to book ticket for ferry if i have a travel card? Does travel card mean that I already have a ticket or I will have to book it anyways?

Thank you in advance!

Pants recommendation

Hi I recently made a post about waterproof jacket and as I'm visiting alone in late august I'm a bit anxious about what to expect.
Do you have any brand recommendations for waterproof and windproof pants because everything I searched they are all basically for skiing and snowboarding which makes them a little bit too thick?

Clothing advice

Hello, I'm visiting Faroe Islands in late august for a week and I need some advice.
I was planning on wearing Adidas Terrex jacket, model MT 2L rain jacket. Now the description says that its hydrostatic head is 10.000 mm, so I was wondering if that is enough for daily hikes(I'll travel by public transport) as all recommendations that I found say it should be minimum 20.000mm?
Thanks in advance.
