Five Kinds of Alighting Thanks on a Suburban Bus Route
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement sorts 9,314 alightings on one outer-suburban bus route into five kinds of thanks to the driver (Spoken, Nod, Raised hand, Chorus, None), then follows a depot that priced a per-stop dwell allowance from each stop's previous-day mix and spent it in full at every visit, occupied or not. The Spoken share rises from 34.2% to 55.8%, the median running time from 41.6 to 44.9 minutes, and the depot keeps the allowance.
