I'm sure they are but a large crowd of people is then left waiting another 10 minutes while an almost empty bus is sitting a few yards away stopped at the traffic lights anyway.

But whats the point of a time table if he is just making up his own ? Bus due to leave at 9:10 leaves at 9:04 and nothing again until 9:20. When you ask where is the 9:10 bus your told there is none, yet the timetalbe says EVERY TEN MINUTES.

Also the same at O'Connell Bridge in the evening.
