But how close to the schedule were the buses running? 

Please.  Neither of those buses run close to the schedule and generally speaking I don't find any local buses running on 30 minute headways running close to the schedule.  That's why it's useless to even bother with such headways.

I'm a bit late to the party, and not as familiar with the bus network as many others here, but I'm surprised that no one has suggested cutting the Q111 trip to Cedarhurst. It's a very out of place run, with no marked stops. To be fair, I'm not certain as to what kind of ridership that lone trip gets.

And that's exactly my point. You can't time yourself for a bus that runs twice per hour if you don't even know what part of the hour it's going to come at.
