If the cost of adding an additional bus into the cycle is not warranted (to increase layover and running times in a bid to improve reliability), then reducing the frequency by 2 minutes in order to create a more robust timetable, seems like a no-brainer. If reliability is poor, services won't be running on an even headway, so chances are they wouldn't be operating on a 10-minute frequency anyway.
Ye, sometimes, services need extra layover time, peak times is the worst, the other day i counted 3, 16's arrive within 5 minutes of each other.
