In the afternoon there are no extra trips on the 4, 9  or 10 so they
all operate basically on even headways ranging from every 6-10 minutes
for the 10 to every 12 minutes for the 4 and 9. It is routine to see
all three leave in a convoy at about 25 minutes past the hour and
again at 35 past the hour. With classes ending at 20 past the hour,
many students can't make it for the 25 after departures and end up
being stuck waiting for the 35 after departures.

The suburban express routes out of UBC are scheduled for class finish
times but often leave at 35 minutes past the hour - again making for a
near 10 minute wait for many passengers.
