Does Holding the Early Bus Undo the Bunching Behind It?

Deployment and Driver-Compliance Log from a Suburban Route's Single Headway-Holding Control Point

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities reports a sixteen-week deployment of Pacemaker, a headway-holding controller installed at a single control point on an outer-suburban bus route, finding headway regularity and downstream on-time running both improve while the operator's newly adopted punctuality statistic excludes the time buses spend held at the control stop itself.
