Does that work with birds?

( Hankster, Sun 5 Apr 2009, 21:51, archived)

That explains why two come at once, but not three.
Please Google again.

that only explains it for two buses
if the second bus isn't delayed and is catching up the first bus, would the gap between the second bus and the third bus on a normal schedule increase as there would be more time for people to queue at the stop if the second bus is early?
( glued eel /questions/questionsyoudliketoask/post1648081, Sun 5 Apr 2009, 21:55, archived)

The second bus won;t be catching up because the conciensous driver will wait a minute so as to keep to his proper timetable.
Obviously.
( Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 5 Apr 2009, 21:58, archived)

One of the bus drivers here waits for the time table, buts starts revving the engine as if to pull away when he sees people
so everybody runs for the bus, and then has to sit for 10 minutes until it's time

this was a thrilling bus anecdote.

This is why I don't get buses.

There's a bus driver here who always tries to overcharge young people.
It costs £1 to get to the university campus from town, but £1.40 to get to Asda (without a student card). However, he tries to charge £1.40, no matter what.

More importantly, if you put a hundred miles head start between the bus and a mobility scooter will the bus ever catch up?

( ArthurTheRat, Sun 5 Apr 2009, 21:58, archived)

Yes, because the doddery old fool on the scooter will go the wrong way directly to under the wheels of the bus.

( Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 5 Apr 2009, 22:00, archived)

legally just the driver.
technically, and of course I have never ever done this, it is quite possible to have a child sitting on your lap, standing on the footboard, or holding on to the back of the seat while standing on their rollerskates.

what if someone gets on the second bus and wants a return to just past the church, BUT ONLY HAS A £20 NOTE, WHAT HAPPENS THEN?

What is the first bus driver spots someone he owes money to at the stop and drives right on by without stopping?
Should he be grassed up?

( Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Sun 5 Apr 2009, 22:28, archived)

What if the second bus catches AND PASSES the first bus?
Will he be slowed down enough by all the passengers to be re-caught, or will the first bus, which is now the second bus, be delayed by having to stop to let a glut of passengers off. What if the first-second bus gets caught by a third bus? What if the second-first bus catches the 0 bus?
( Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 5 Apr 2009, 22:06, archived)

What if the second-first-0 bus gets so far ahead he catches himself doing the route earlier in the day?
