The bus left early?

Replying to @alon_levy @Zmapper and
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)

but all of this is beside the point: the driver ignored that another bus was just arriving, and took off without waiting in spite of this

because the default assumption is that passengers will interrupt their driver and ask them to call another bus every time they want to transfer

And there is no way management can tell the drivers to chill?

I've brought this up many many times to no avail--management either doesn't really care or thinks it would be more trouble than it's worth to get drivers to pay attention to transfers

The big problem here--as with my earlier comments about causes of declining ridership--is that problems are not recognized as problems! Deficient service is considered normal, improvement considered impossible.
