30-45 minutes? That sounds extreme. In the very worst crowding situations I've seen in the Netherlands I've only had to miss my bus a few times, and I just got on the next one which was fine. And that's from Leiden/Delft, where lots of students take the bus.
2 double-bendy buses is 300 people per minute. If he has to wait 45 minutes, he's in a line with 13,500 people. At 3 people/meter, that's a line 4.5 kilometers long. Now, I imagine it's more like a large crowd. But are you sure he has to wait 45 minutes? And are you sure there are two double-bendy buses per minute? 9292 says in the spits from the Uithof-Centraal there is one bus every 4 minutes.
