Waiting

You spend more time standing around because buses arrive later than expected or show up unevenly.

Slow travel

Once you board, the trip itself takes longer because of traffic, red lights, and slow stop-by-stop movement.

Bunching

Buses bunch together, which creates a long gap before the next vehicle arrives.
