I think you chose the wrong business Wayne. You probably would have been a great asset at buses.
When I worked the road I did anything I could to get service. I always have said that customers don't care if a bus is an hour early or an hour late, they just want a bus to arrive on it scehduled headway. Its the way I ran my lines when I was a road dispatcher.
Unfortunately many on the road are just there to buy their time to pick inside or as managers as a short stop on the ladder to the "upstairs office's".
Like when I worked 146 St and Lenox Av. I always ran an M7 shuttle between my location and Columbus Circle on bad days. This bus would pick up the slack for the other runs who were late. I would send an M7 dark down Columbus/9Av to 14 St and 6 Av so the dispatcher would have a bus ready in case he had a large headway.
Its all a matter of doing something, and not just standing there writing numbers in a tally book like a glorified checker. If it weren't for my health getting bad I would still be out on the corners.
