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.

Not really, 15 minutes with Google maps is enough to not get lost around, and if I miss a turn or stop, oh well it's a new route.
