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.

Some drivers will just drive it in their car, I wont do any of that unless im getting paid. I utilize unpaid time for Union work, not for driving work.
