Timed Stops vs. Non-Timed Stops

To keep the bus schedules predictable and running as close to on-time as possible, bus systems use Timed Stops. These are bus stops where the bus will wait until the listed time for that stop occurs before leaving that stop. Riders are assured that the bus will not be leaving before the stated time for that particular stop. Not all bus stops are timed stops. The schedules primarily list the timed stops, although there is usually another list of all stops on the route. While timed stops prevent buses from being early, they cannot control when a bus runs late.
