Neither does late buses not being able to get on to stands, because other buses have been left there unmanned. It caused a bit of chaos with quite a bit running off timetable.
There was an awful lot of that on Saturday afternoon. All the layover bays were full and there was no space left by the wall towards the exit. There were at least 2 unmanned buses occupying stands for more than 10 minutes and quite a few buses ended up dropping passengers off at stand L and 3/4 before going around the block once or twice until they found a vacant slot at the right end of the bus station.
I really hope the new plans don't get through because it'll be even worse. The current over capacity situation is extreme, but not at all rare. It's one of the busiest bus stations in the region crammed into one of the smallest spaces.
