The detailed schedules were called "recap sheets" and everything was written by hand. I believe they started typing them in the 1980s. They weren't computerized until the late 80s or early 90s. I was out of planning by then so I lost track.Drivers did have hand written pieces of paper in front of them to help them keep track of where they needed to be at specific times so try knew if they were running early or late. I am unaware of them writing times down to aid in scheduling if they indeed did that. Back then if schedulers felt there was a problem with a running time, they would take a car and try to drive like the bus to mimic travel time to estimate traffic conditions. The problem with that method is they had no idea of what the dwell times really were. |
