The timetable is available at: transports publics de la région lausannoise. This site is only in French, so here's some help: go to Horaires par lignes on the left-hand side. Then choose "45" and Chalet-à-Gobet on the right-hand side. This will give you the schedule of Bus "45". Also note that there are different schedules for weekdays (lundi à vendredi), Saturdays (samedi) and Sundays & holidays (dimanche et fêtes).
