With limited exceptions, elementary and secondary students tend to let out around the same time every day, so that's part of what you're seeing at Main & Longwood. Return to the same intersection at the same time of day in July, or arrive an hour earlier or later during the school year and the image would be somewhat different. Even so, the solution needn't be complicated.

According to the New Flyer tech specs, their 60-footers are built to accommodate up to 62 and up to 53 standees — so 105 per crush-loaded bus. If thousands of high school students want to take the bus in each direction at 3pm, and virtually none by 4pm, run a half-dozen 60-footers in each direction from 3 to 3:30 and see where demand leads you thereafter.
