I wonder how many people work in there at any one time. Cannot be many!Individual drivers don't have the resources to fill the gaps created when vehicles are delayed beyond their control. Someone else with a wider overview is required to regulate services, send in substitute vehicles and drivers (because soldiering on might take a driver over their legal hours) and so on.
Bus drivers shouldn’t need babysitting really, if they’re late, then that’s on them, barring traffic and obvious other issues, but GNE usually put that on their website for you to see.
Your posting style seems rather familiar.
