e only other way of stopping this problem is for the unit IN FRONT to
be slowed down. This is done on the Paris metro.

So the already late bus is slowed down to allow the on time bus to
overtake and take all the passengers?

No, you've misunderstood. The idea is to slow down the bus IN FRONT of the
late one in order to even up the intervals.

And then they get hoots of derision from the passengers on the
deliberately-delayed service when they tell them they are "regulating
the service" (as heard on the Jubilee Line at Bridge).
