Today in the digital age, the bus schedule says “15:17”
Yeah essentially lol. That’s one of the reasons I had never been super into analog clocks beforehand.
Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly?

I grew up with analog clocks and can read them at a glance.
For the most part, I don’t really care precisely about minute. E.g. the analog clock in my kitchen is only used to tell me that it’s “roughly 2 minutes past 5 soon” and it’s enough for me to put the potatoes on.
If I need to know precisely whether it’s 16:03 vs 16:04, I use a digital clock. Though mostly because my analog clocks are not precisely synced at all times.
Back when analog was the norm, nobody cared about a minute here or there unless they had some specific profession. Like, the bus came “15:15 ish maybe 5 minutes early maybe 10 minutes late”. Today the schedule says “15:17”

And the bus might show up about twenty past three, if you’re lucky
