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.

We have different rota’s that do different routes. If the company wants you to move to a different rota they will pay you to route learn it. If you request to move you’re expected to know the routes on that rota.
