There is one line where I use this to my advantage, I could wait at the bus stop for the next 417, but if I miss it by a short time I know that if I catch the 137 that the 417 will pick up all of the passengers from the stops and so the 137 won't have to stop as many times, and I will usually be able to run from one to the other.
