1. Frequent service (<5 minutes between buses, ideally) 2. Enough capacity to support rush hours (so each bus can straight up refuse to take extra passengers) 3. Education campaigns and police / fines / other external factor for the short term (to break existing habits) 4. Separate public transport lanes so buses don't get stuck in traffic or behind red lights. IMO, these are sufficient for a good public transport system. Skipping stops is the worst since it makes the whole network unreliable. If the above points are too high of an investment and skipping stops is the only viable solution then a proper digital interface is needed. If the schedule is dynamic then the information about it also needs to be dynamic. I need to be able to know that the bus I am on is going to skip my stop and plan my next steps while I am sitting in the bus itself.
