So you think if a train driver happens to show up 30minutes earlier at the train station, a long distance train should just depart earlier, leaving all the passengers and people with connections stranded?
Your comments are fascinating. Completely nonsense, but fascinating.
Do you have reading comprehension problems? It's not about when the driver arrives, it's about not standing intentionally with passengers wasting their time by design, in the middle of the road. I feel like I'm getting downvoted by people with reading comprehension level of bots.
It's better to have an optimistic schedule that sometimes gets late than a pessimistic schedule that always wastes everyone's time making pubic transport extremely slow in all circumstances.
It's not about the driver. It's about the passengers. It's about not stopping idly during your route with people on the bus. Buses aren't trains, they usually don't need to stop at all stations and the difference between stopping in all stations and not doing it is huge.
If your train schedule is so bad that a train, which has no traffic at all, can come 30 minutes early from schedule, then it could always do that and you're planning something wrong.
> it's about not standing intentionally with passengers wasting their time by design
If you've ever taken a train, you could know that they might arrive on the track even hours before their departure, and passengers who are early are often welcome board and get settled.
Now we have people inside that are just waiting instead of travelling… Exactly the situation you have been describing.

No. The problem lies with the writer, not the readers.
> can come 30 minutes early from schedule
I'm curious to know where this number is coming. For city transport we are talking about 2-3 minutes.
