Default Buses waiting time and blocking the road

It would be better if they just kept on going.


Tell that to passengers who miss the bus because it is running
early.


You cut the important point of 'If they get to their
destination early then maybe the timetable needs changing rather than
hogging the road for no good reason',


The waiting passengers will not get to their destination early if
they miss the bus.

As for the bus itself, even on a reserved road it is not possible to
ensure that trains always arrive everywhere on time. All sorts of
factors may influence this, including how many passengers there are.
On a general access road it is even more unlikely that a bus will
arrive everywhere on time. The best solution to this is to have
timing points, as has already been explained.

you nob.


Excellent, personal abuse. Usually the resort of those with no
better arguments. Do keep making a fool of yourself in this way, if
you want to.
