Question

I am new to this SE and don't know if this fits theme of this website. That is why first posting in meta site. Feel free to suggest some other SE if applicable. Sorry for the long post. But this much info is needed to explain !

Background:

I am student and working in one science institute. Our university has bunch of transport services which runs on daily bases based on pre-existing timings.

For example :

On Mon to Sat: 07:00, 11:00, 16:00 ... 
On Sundays: 09:30, 12:30, 21:00 ...

There can be any number of trips per day or even each day can have different trips.

Task:

Whenever I run this program, it should give me back next trip when we have input in following form

monday = { "07:00", "11:00", "16:00",...}
sunday = { "09:30", "12:30", "21:00", ...}

For example :

run() #On Monday 09:00
>>Output : 11:00 
run() #On Sunday 13:30
>>Output: 21:00

Initially I thought it is very easy job. But unfortunately, my university added trips post midnight , For example

monday =  { "07:00", "11:00", "16:00",..., "01:30"}
sunday = { "09:30", "12:30", "21:00", ..., "02:00"}

Here trip mentioned in Monday list "01:30" is actually on Tuesday. This broke my existing algorithm. So currently I am using following algorithm,

Step1: Distribute each input into 3 parts : first trip, trips after that and trips after midnight e.g

monday =  { "07:00", "11:00", "16:00",..., "01:30"}
monday_first = {"07:00"}
monday_rest = {"11:00", "16:00"...}
monday_post_midnight = {"01:30"}

Step2 : Combine lists from yesterday's midnight, first trip and rest of the trips

e.g.

new_monday_trip = sunday_midnight + monday_first + monday_rest
new_monday_trip = {"02:00", "07:00","11:00", "16:00"...}

Step3: Check current time and get next trip from list. If it is present then show it to user or get first item from next day.

I was wondering if is there any better way.

Note: Each input will be always in chronological order

Example Input Set

monday to saturday =  { "07:00", "11:00", "12:30", "16:00", "21:00", "00:00", "01:30"}
sunday = { "09:30", "12:30", "21:00", "00:30","01:30", "02:00"}

You can get a good idea for what's on topic on an established Stack Exchange site (i.e. one which is old enough to have settled the initial questions about what's in scope) by looking at /help/on-topic. Here you will see that the stack is for programming contests.

If your code works and you want to know whether there's a better way of doing it (which I understand to be the case) then I think that the best fit for your question would be codereview.stackexchange.com. There you should post the code (rather than the algorithm) with the explanation of the goal, the example input, and the specific request for feedback on whether there's a better way of handling the wrap around midnight.
