Late

In seattle some buses only run every 30 minutes (even during rush hour). So if one is running late, that could mean waiting 45 minutes or more on any given day. That makes it really tricky to plan your commute if there is such wide variation in bus arrival time. I've had my bus come at 7:35, 7:42, 7:46, 7:56 and 7:59. This is why everyone has a car in seattle! If the dept of transportation can't get its buses to run on a schedule, then they should add more buses so that they run more frequently. Decrease the number of stop locations for efficiency. Hire some smart urban planners.
