Avoidance of bus bunching
Bus bunching is the phenomenon of clumping / clustering of buses. Generally buses are scheduled and expected to operate at certain time intervals on a specific route. It is of a natural occurrence that the due to on-road delays and other reasons, the buses deviate from the schedule. This results in...
