To be honest, not many passengers care about their bus really! As long as it shows up and the fares are fairly cheap - and most care about a seat. They're not going to go out of their way to wait for Cumfybus' hourly service, unless it was due somewhere close to them in about five minutes and it didn't involve missing loads of other buses in that direction!

Agree with this, unless people are going to a stop that's the only served by one route, they'll get the first bus that turns up, especially if it's a a few routes with frequent service(s) & most passengers will want to get to there destination as quickly as possible & not on a bus, that's taking the back streets before it gets to there destination.
