  1. Wait at bus stop for 20 minutes
  2. Light cigarette
  3. Bus will immediately appear

Well, you should have lit up your cigarette 20 minutes earlier.

That's not how that works, don't be silly.

If it wasn't working, OP would have 20 minutes to smoke his cigarette, but if it was, he would get his bus immediately.

City buses don't like to be lonely, that's why they travel in groups, especially if they are serving the same route.

Long ago, busses traveled so closely in groups that there were mechanical linkages between each bus

But then, everything changed when the cars attacked

Only the double-decker mastered all four routes

Also you could base a true random number generator on the bus timings.

Hmm. I’ve noticed the bus comes to this place every day at 7:13 am. That means if I also come here at 7:13 am, I will catch the bus!

Do not cite the deep magic to me, Bus. I was there when it was written.

[–] Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 months ago

My rule of thumb for where I live, is that the bus can arrive in a range of -25% of route frequency to +100% of route frequency. Any longer and there is a 50% chance that the bus may never appeare.
