Yes, leaving early wouldn't make any difference for me either as the buses run at frequent schedule during rush hours from 5am to 10am and I need to be at work at 9am. However, there is a big difference in traffic if I leave at 7:20 or 7:45. At the later times there is definitely more car traffic. In one way it slows the traffic down causing the bussed to run slow, but on the other hand it makes the ride more frustrating and dangerous. I'd rather ride with less traffic and faster moving buses.
