How can I manage a tight timed transfer at the central hub?

[EthanFP]

I’m trying to plan my commute after they changed the bus routes last month, and I’m honestly a bit lost. The new schedule says my usual line now has a timed transfer at the central hub, but the connection window seems so tight I’m worried I’ll just miss the second bus every morning. Has anyone else tried making this specific transfer yet?

Tried it last week. the central hub was crowded and I barely had time for the transfer. the second bus pulled away while I was still squeezing through the crowd.

I started timing it for a week. first bus shows up, transfer window feels like four minutes, and on two mornings I almost made it but missed by seconds. now I stagger my arrival a few minutes earlier.

Is the real problem the transfer window or is the first leg just late more often than not? I’m not sure if it’s the schedule or the crowds changing the timing.

I did a small test ride where I skipped the transfer to see if the system would adapt, but it just confirmed the timing was the constraint, so I went back to the usual plan and kept watching the clock
