yes but poorly to say the least (I rely on a timed transfer for my commute, but God help me if one bus is running late, because the two routes operate from different garages and refuse to communicate to each other)
Yeah I wasn't working here before the advent of bus tracking so perhaps it's a recent policy change

Okay, but if you have GPS bus tracking, can you not inform drivers on connecting buses that they need to wait?
-
They treat connections as the exception rather than the rule--a driver scolded me once for not calling ahead for her to wait for my bus (which arrived on-time, she left just as we arrived). And this at least was an intra-garage situation.
-
The bus left early?
-
we arrived at 6:00 as scheduled, the other bus took off at 6:00 as scheduled--it neglected to wait even 10 seconds in case people wanted to transfer, though
-
The buses don't have even 2-3 minutes of pad?
-
not at this connection (the inter-garage one I use to get to work has 5 minutes pad in both directions)
-
Is it on purpose, or is it a byproduct of constraints elsewhere? (I guess the problem is that you need multiple pulse points...)
-
Depending on traffic, there is a de-facto pad at the intra-garage transfer (ie, my bus normally arrives a minute or three *before* the hour)
