If buses don't generally pass each other (for reasons of both practicality of doing so the way stops are laid out, safety and policy), bus 2 making their schedule is dependent on bus 1. So if bus 2 is late, it can be bus 1's fault.

- unreal37 12y agoThat may be true in some cities, and not true in others. As a car driver in a big city, I've rarely seen a bus pass another bus, but I have seen buses all bunched together. I suspect there is no incentive for a bus driver to pass another bus. He's not the one in a rush to get anywhere.
