You can change the departure times on each stops. Sometimes it makes sense to a waiting time on certain stops or at least the final stop. Of course this can end up that another bus is required.
thank you i will give it a shot :)

+1.

If I create a long route, I always add an extra minute's stop every few stops along the way, which allows the bus to "catch up" and keep to it's timetable. I try to make this as realistic as possible by making it near train stations, hospitals, entertainment venues etc.

I will also satisfy my OCD by making the entire route a nice fraction/multiple of an hour so that the timetable for start / middle stops is a nice "round" number. :-)

Cheers,
Chris.
If you have routes taking 15, 30, 60 minutes make sure the bus either takes longer or 5 minutes less. As when it takes 14, 29, 59 minutes it will be used for the next round as well and may start already with a bad delay.
cheers all i will try this when i can :)
