Well, there's plenty of instances in the schedules. Reasons could be as follows:

* The bus could be running every 20 minutes, and be scheduled to arrive on the :02s, :22s, and :42s. (For instance, the S52 during weekday middays)

* The bus could be running every 15 minutes, and be scheduled to arrive on the :02s, :17s, :32s, and :47s. In some cases, the buses arriving on the :02s and :32s are the full-length buses, while the ones arriving on the :17s and :47s are short-turns. (For instance, the S62 in the early weekday midday, or the S78 on Saturdays).

* Pure laziness in writing the schedule. For the S46 on weekday evenings, buses are scheduled to arrive at 8:41, 9:03, 9:33, 10:03, 10:33, 10:59, 11:27, and 11:56. The 9:03, 9:33, 10:03, and 10:33 buses are scheduled to make a return trip 27 minutes later. If they pushed the times back by 15-20 minutes, they could allow more people to catch that ferry.
