On: The waiting time paradox: why is my bus always late? (2018)

I don't understand all those smokers that are lighting a cigarettes seconds or 1 minute before the bus reaches the halt. Most of the time you can see the bus from a distance yet they still light them up.

For me it is shorter : I don't understand all those smokers.

maybe they know they can't smoke on the bus, so they "need" to smoke as late as possible before getting on to survive the ride? idk, not a smoker.

Eh, a bus ride is a bus ride. They're all outside of the 'comfort window' so to speak. When I was heavily dependent on nicotine I could still go a couple hours and not really mind it.

Maximizing the minutes doesn't track but people are irrational. When I got an e-cig my use went way, way higher.
