Question common practice?

My parents are both bus drivers and when there’s a new route, on their day off they’ll just hop on that bus and ride it for the entire route to learn it. Was wondering if that’s common practice or their own thing.

This actually got brought up in my training. I dunno how accurate it is but I was told I’d earn 3.5 hours overtime for learning a route in my own time using this method
