What city is that? That is a rider-hostile definition of "on-time". In my city if the bus arrives at a stop early it will just stand there until the scheduled time.

There tend to be maybe 5 or 6 of them on a given cross-city route, but there's no public information about where they are. It's pretty easy to figure them out, though. Note that at non-timing stops they don't even wait if they're five minutes ahead of schedule most of the time.
- nevi-me 11y agoThat's good, because it means that your transit agency(ies) respect timing points. It's difficult to always know when the bus will pass a certain place, even with Bus Rapid Transit systems that have dedicated lanes. Timing points are points on the schedule where the bus is guaranteed to leave on time or late at that point. So I presume that in your case, if the bus is late, it doesn't wait, but if it's early it waits.
