Because the other 80% of the time, your travel time does not increase at all, because you're walking during the time which you would've otherwise spent waiting for the bus. (And let's be very clear, I was specifically referring to a case where the bus runs every 10 minutes, and the increased walking time is 2 minutes...2 divided by 10 is 0.2, which is 20%).Also, this is of course assuming completely random arrivals. If your bus runs every 60 minutes, you'll most likely time yourself so that you're not missing it by 1 minute (So if your extra walk is 2 minutes, you'll likely leave your home 2 minutes earlier than you would've done so had the original stop still been there). But even then, if you assume random arrivals like in the other example, it still averages out...(2/60 = 0.0333, so you miss the bus 3.33% of the time, and 96.67% of the time, there is no extra time added because you're walking during the time you would've been otherwise waiting). |
