"Please be at the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus is booked to depart"
... or words to that effect. It becomes an issue when bus drivers then use the earlier time as a target, overshoot and depart more than five minutes early, yes? (Stagecoach's four-buses-a-day 620 is rather suffering from this towards the end of its run into Bath and given the state of the city's roadworks I also have sympathy with the bus drivers...)
