This is where a dispatcher is most helpful. For example, when there are frequent intervals a bus that is at the beginning of a run and full up with passengers should be allowed to just go since there is nobody else who can get on.Another ideal would be a system where one or more buses that have become bunched together can terminate short of the destination, empty out and transfer their passengers to one of the other buses that are continuing on, so the terminating bus can turn around and start going the other way and work to steady out the intervals. I would say that once frequencies are better than 8 to 10 minutes then, yes, even spacing should take precedence over strict adherence to the schedule. But of course at the times when its most costly to miss a bus, such as overnights, I would say that in ordinary circumstances buses should not even be 1 second early. |
