What is the bus waiting time problem? ›

In the waiting-time paradox, if an event occurs at a time that we pick uniformly at random, the average waiting time until the next event is typically larger than half of the inter-event time. The waiting-time paradox is also called the “bus paradox” and the “inspection paradox.”

Longest rides: The longest local bus route is Staten Island's S78 at 19.7 miles between the St George Ferry Terminal and the Bricktown Mall in Charleston. Depots: Buses are housed, washed, and maintained at 28 depots.

How the Hopper works. The Hopper fare applies automatically if you're using contactless or Oyster pay as you go. You can make unlimited bus and tram journeys within one hour. You can switch between buses and trams in any combination.

Haldane realized that for long-lived organisms such as hom*o sapiens, waiting time for fixation appeared to be problematic (only allowing about 1000 beneficial mutations to be fixed within the evolving pre-human population during the span of 6 million years). This problem came to be known as Haldane's Dilemma.

Originally a streetcar line along Second Avenue, it is now the M15 bus route, the busiest bus route in the city and United States, carrying 16.4 million riders annually.

Feeder Service 284 serves residential estates along Clementi Avenue 4 to Clementi Interchange.

What are the things you must never do while Travelling in a bus? ›

Keep your hands and head inside the bus at all times. Help keep the bus clean. Don't throw trash on the floor or out the windows. Keep objects out of the aisle.

Standing on the upper deck will cause the top deck of the bus to be heavier than the bottom deck. The centre of gravity will rise and the bus will lose its stability. When it makes a turn, the top deck will probably cause the whole bus to tilt dangerously (and fall, in the worst scenario).

Tour duration: 2 hours (approx.)

As the largest type of school bus available, coach buses stand out with lengths reaching up to 45 feet.

As the saying goes, you wait ages for a bus and then two come along at once.

The wait/walk dilemma occurs when waiting for a bus at a bus stop, when the duration of the wait may exceed the time needed to arrive at a destination by another means, especially walking.

Some stops may be designated as "timing points", and if the vehicle is ahead of schedule it will wait there to ensure correct synchronization with the timetable. In dense urban areas where bus volumes are high, skip-stops are sometimes used to increase efficiency and reduce delays at bus stops.

For an average, “non-scheduled” city bus, the average waiting time should be equal to half of the interval between buses. If there is a bus every 10 minutes, then the average waiting time should be 5 minutes. Some people will get to the bus stop right as one bus leaves, and wait a full 10 minutes.
