This is an annoyance, obviously, having to arrive for a bus two (or particularly five) minutes early, especially as the bus itself may well arrive after its scheduled time. But 100% schedule adherence is impossible.
Another problem that frequency goes a long way toward solving...
Now I have to kvetch a little: a few minutes after I wrote this, I went to catch the 200, and it passed by before I made it to the stop, about three minutes early.
But, because it's ten minute frequency, I only had to wait in the rain thirteen minutes, not eighteen...or thirty-three.
