You know if they made the buses run a bit faster they could get more runs in at the end of the day. Most of these routes have too much padding.

You know who you should mention that to?...... the politicians of York Region!
 
The contractor probably gets penalized for on time performance hence why the padded schedules with buses stopped at extended times at terminals and along the route to use up time.

The reason doesn't matter (at this stage); and you're guessing.

Don't guess, complain to York Region's Chair and let them inquire about whether/why some routes have excess padding.
