I can say that "the Y" rarely runs on the printed time. I've witness this many times!!

Last I checked, Ride On's OTP is 82%

"Victoria said that although he did not know why some routes were so far behind schedule, Metrobus does operate in a region that has the second-worst traffic congestion in the country."

Hmmm let me check my notes.....

What standard does everyone use for their OTP?  We never really did it at PRTC, but I was curious whether people use the 5 minute standard or 10 minute standard and whether or not it's when they leave the begining of the route or mid-route?

Mid-route at 5 minutes we're hovering around 90% and 10 minutes we're at about 96-97%.  I'd like to get the 5 minute higher though.
