15 minutes · Defend a recommendation with data and a limit.

Recommend a curb rule for bus idling and justify it.

Minutes buses idled after dismissal. One bus loop. Not a citywide study.

I recommend a five-minute idle limit. On four of the five days the bus idled more than 15 minutes, and Thursday shows a shorter idle is possible. This is one loop, so the rule should be tried and checked, not treated as proof about every bus.

The recommendation uses the count of days and names the limit of the data.
