"This is great," you might think, "the time between buses is a maximum of 10 minutes, often less!" Over the next forty minutes I managed to rotate the appealing interpretation of the phrase into an alternative that is also true: the frequency of buses is a maximum at 'every 10 minutes', but the frequency is often less. Much less.
