Found out yesterday that my bus route has been running 7 minutes late for 6 years straight

I was looking at the transit authority's annual report online and noticed they track on-time performance by route. Turns out the 47 bus has averaged 7.2 minutes late every single day since 2018. Why isn't that just built into the schedule by now? Wouldn't that fix the problem for everyone?

When they'd change the schedule, wouldn't that fix it" - that's exactly what my buddy Dave kept saying about the 52 bus in his neighborhood. He finally drove down to the transit office one morning to ask them in person. The lady at the counter just shrugged and said "we don't schedule for delays, we schedule for ideal conditions." He stood there for a minute trying to process that logic and then just walked out.
