Halifax Transit Idling

What's the deal with needlessly idling buses?! Could be a beautiful day with a perfect temperature, nobody on the bus (e.g. buses parked on Upper Water Street, I suppose waiting to start a route?) and there they are idling away. I'm sure this also occurs in many other areas of the city that I don't frequent. Apart from the carbon emissions, how can an organisation operate with these inefficiencies if they are always in the red financially and we need to provide subsidies?! —It's 2015, get with the program!
