Default Buses waiting time and blocking the road

Buses must be very unreliable


Not quite.
It's the bureaucratic rules.

If the door alarm won#'t shut up, if the ramp won't work, if anything isn't
'perfect', then the bus has to go out of service.

And if it's a major problem, it's more visible, as it sits for hours waiting
for the company's contract tow truck - gone are the days when the nearest
garage could retrieve a broken bus.

Just one of the prices we have to pay for a privatised service.
