Stupid buses...
Dear Wolfline,
I would really appreciate it if you would stick to the times printed on the schedule, especially at night. See, when I'm at the bus stop 15 minutes early, waiting in my car because it's cold, I don't appreciate it when I get out when the bus turns the corner at 12:10 and decides not to wait until 12:15 (see, they're supposed to be at the stop every 40 minutes, and the second-to-last time listed is 12:55; therefore, the previous time for that stop would be 40 minutes before that at 12:15). It's just not safe to print times for timestops and then have drivers dismiss those times. Then you have students waiting in the dark, possibly alone (although I wasn't, fortunately), for a bus because they don't want to miss it when it comes early. If you could possibly handle it, perhaps you might consider actually stopping and waiting at a timepoint so students don't miss the bus when they think they're on time and have to be someplace.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Katherine
