Why do 3 buses come at once.?

Question

There is a corect answer.

Answer 1

Are you at a central bus station?

Answer 2

Two main resons: One they catch each other up in traffic particularly when the first one is busy and therefore stops long at stops. Two: The first one is running late, the second is on time, and the 3rd early due to sloppy operational practices.

Answer 3

to pi ss us off!

Answer 4

Where I live we only get 3 buses a day, so it is NOT possible in some areas.

Answer 5

I was once told a story by the Chief Operaing Officer (Central Area) of London Transport.

There were 40 departures an hour scheduled on service 11 from the Liverpool Street terminus - that is a bus every 90 seconds. An inspector with a stopwatch sent three buses away from the terminus at exactly ninety second intervals.

The first bus turned right out of Liverpool Street and stopped at a red traffic light in Bishopgate. It also got caught at the traffic lights at London Wall, Threadneedle Street and at the Bank.

The second bus left ninety seconds after the first bus turned right out of Liverpool Street and got a green light in Bishopgate, a red light at London Wall, a green light at Threadneedle Street and another red light at the Bank. It pulled up at the Mansion House stop behind the first bus.

The third bus left ninety seconds after the second bus turned right out of Liverpool Street and got green traffic lights in Bishopgate, London Wall, Threadneedle Street and at the Bank. It pulled up at the Mansion House stop right behind the other two buses.

Would it be surprising if someone then said "London Transport could not run a bus service if they tried"!.

And that is why buses bunch together

Answer 6

It's rush hour............or.........they are all returning to the depot.

or.......they are making up time............or something else...

Answer 7

'Cos life is like that!, it really sucks sometimes.

This usually happens when it's been raining and you've waited at least half an hour. They then managed to squeeze onto one bus everyone else who had been waiting at other stops for just as long, with a really old smelly person or a 'care in the community' person thrown in for good measure and then all seem to be terminating at the next stop!!!!!,(they annonce this after you have got on and paid!!!!).
