Gavin -- I honestly think that at headways less than, say, twenty minutes, there's no point in keeping a set schedule, because in my experience buses never keep to it. It would be one thing if you had two parallel routes and you could know when the buses were going to be at any given stop, but that almost never happens. Instead, you usually know "this bus comes about every fifteen minutes, on average." That's the fatal flaw in the two-parallel-routes theory.

Alex -- I'm actually writing from Baltimore, sorry, should have made that clear. (For the record, I'm talking about the 11 on Charles/Maryland and the 3 on St. Paul between 33rd and Eager, if that means anything to anybody.)
