Every route schedule that I've seen budgets at least 15 minutes at the end of a line before the driver has to turn around. As far as I know, the HSR has no routes longer than an hour. That makes a 10-15 minute break (depending on schedule slippage) every hour. Most of the end of line stops have washroom facilities too. Yet every morning at 9, my #4 operator stops mid-route at a time hortons for coffee while the people on the bus wait. Maybe the HSR can build better facilities, but given operator's behaviour, I find their complaints disingenuous.

Hamilton is the only transit service I've ever seen which allow operators to take such breaks in the middle of a run.
