Well that was unnecessarily daft - if they filled one bus first and sent it on its way, it would have been quicker for all concerned. I have seen that before - waiting for all passengers on the buses before setting off, and I guess one issue is that they don't want to send out one bus, then discover they have too many people for the second bus when they could have squeezed more on to the first.
