These are the 5,293 Connexions Buses journeys we followed to within 250 metres of their last
stop in the urban areas we sample, so they describe its running where we sample rather than on
every route it operates. On time, early and late add up to every journey; "more than 15 minutes
late" is part of late. How bus punctuality is measured and why so many buses arrive early.
