    I mean, if people expect the bus to be late, they’ll get flabbergasted when it arrives on time for once

      I grew up in a smallish town where the bus was ALWAYS 2-3 minutes late.

      Unless you were counting on it, in which case it would miraculously be on time for the first time in months if not years 😄

        And then promptly leave early because it waits and ‘corrects’ time at a different random stop in the middle of no where? That happens a lot here.

        Europe. Busses in my town have a clause that they arrive within +/-2 minutes of schedule.

        However, to correct for this bestial treatment of driver rights to piss on people, sometimes the bus doesn’t show at all.

      My bus to work has only 2 options, 10 minutes early with no tracking, or the tracking displaying “2 minutes away” for 20 minutes straight minutes after it was supposed to arrive.

      I barely ever check the timetables for whatever bus I’m taking. The buses are so frequent that I just go wait at the bus stop. I almost always get a ride within 10 minutes.
