  Is it though? I am not saying they are not allowed to use them or anything. I just wonder why they use them when everyone else does as well. I have taken buses outside those times and not many retirees or old people take them. If I had the whole day I would probably not take the most crowded bus and take the one that is almost empty.

    Strike up a conversation and find out how their day is going. Maybe you’ll get the answers you seek.

    There are many reasons that people would use a particular schedule. Congestion is only one, and not even a big one usually.

    A far bigger reason is to be done with it so they can get on with their day, whatever that might be. That way the errand(s) are done and won’t interrupt them or weigh on their minds.

  If I’m late to work I can’t pay their pension.

      It’s certainly something they could choose to be considerate about.
