In this paper, we consider a time-headway model, introduced in Physica A 296:320 (2001), for buses on a bus route. By including a simple no-passing rule, we are able to enumerate and study the unstable modes of a homogeneous system. We then discuss the application of the model to realistic scenarios, showing that the range of reasonable parameter values is more restricted than one might imagine. We end by showing that strict stability in a homogeneous bus route requires careful monitoring by each bus of the bus in front of it, but in many cases this is unnecessary because the time it takes for the instability to appear is longer than a bus would normally spend on a route.
