scheduled vs due

Are these 2 words interchangeable? Is there one you prefer or is one of the 2 wrong?

When are you due/scheduled to arrive?

Thanks

The meanings of "due" and "scheduled" in that context are very similar. " "Scheduled" means that the transport has a timetable and the arrival time is per that timetable. "

The meanings of "due" and "scheduled" in that context are very similar. "Due" means more like "expected." "Scheduled" means that the transport has a timetable and the arrival time is per that timetable.

So if you are walking, I would use "due" or "expected" but not "scheduled."
