I'll note another fun pattern I've seen:

• Bus crawls along behind traffic during rush hour traffic, or a long line of traffic bottlenecked by a busy stop sign

• Bus stops to load/unload, blocking traffic for a bit, with a gap opening up in front of it as a result of cars not being able to get around (e.g. the stop is just directly on the typical curb/sidewalk with one lane in that direction.)

• Bus continues, and quickly catches up to the car it was behind before, since traffic was going slower than the speed limit as a result of bottlenecks

The stop was free, in these cases.
