This would help with not wasting the trailing bus's extra speed, but I think the buses being that close together is already considered failure. And in the real world, there would be many more stops on a circuit. Any advantage the faster bus has will be reset in 1 or 2 stops, and on a route with 10-20 stops, the extra space between them is negligible.
