MySql join statement returning too many results - mysql

Question

I am attempting to join some columns from two tables like follows:
select routes.route_collection, times.times
from routes
inner join times
on routes.bus_id & times.bus_id =1;
Although I am getting 12 results (duplicated by 4) instead of three.
Am I doing something wrong here? I have looked at several sites and they all appear to work using similar syntax.
Edit: It appears to be multiplying the amount of values in one table by another - in this case 4 x 3?
Here is the database schema

Answer 1

Please use operator 'AND' instead of '&'.
And as I understand you need something like that (do not know do you need the where clouse):
select routes.route_collection, times.times
from routes
inner join times
on routes.bus_id = times.bus_id
where routes.bus_id = 1;
May be you need aggregated values of times?
something like this:
select routes.route_collection, GROUP_CONCAT(times.times)
from routes
inner join times
on routes.bus_id = times.bus_id
where routes.bus_id = 1
group by routes.route_id;
