Has anyone done any study of how generous our GRT schedules actually are? I know they do some evaluation of on time performance, but if we achieve that by slowing down buses, then it's a perverse incentive.
Reason I ask, I was on a bus this morning that took 5 minutes longer than Google Maps suggested to arrive, and then got stuck in traffic for 3-4 light cycles, and made almost every stop, and yet, the driver still decided to literally stop at a green light, I can only imagine, to keep from getting too far ahead of schedule.
