Depart/depart from

What's the difference between these two expression and word?

Like the sentence here confuses me tons:"The shuttle buses only depart BYU at 12:00pm and 3:00pm and they only depart from the Airport of Honolulu."

Is there a difference between depart and depart from?

Or is it trying to say that the bus departs FOR BYU at 12pm and 3pm FROM Honolulu, like some kind of mistype?
