It may be improper to hold a bus for another passenger when the buses are running close together but when the headway on a bus route is 20 min or more or even an hour as overnight, it wouldn’t hurt the schedule that much especially since at least in NY many schedule are padded to account for unforeseen problems. I personally know of cases where a bus driver is running as much as 10 min early on a one hour headway meaning if a person missed that bus he/she would have an inordinate amount of time for the next bus which that passenger would have been able to get if the bus were not running ahead of schedule. Another operator I used to come home with late at night would leave the terminal as much as 10 min late and then speed like the dickens bouncing me all over the bus as he hit every pothole on the route. By the way, just because the headway on a line is supposed to be x number on minutes it doesn’t mean that the following bus is necessarily running on time and is often running on the followers time causing even more delays. |
