In the real world, that happens.  As well as public transport routes 
with _only_ the route defined (no stops) there are also those with 
_only_ the stops defined and the driver decides how to get to the next 
one base on traffic.  Also there are "request" routes where there are 
defined stops, but not in a defined order.  The above examples all exist 
in the UK, but think about public transport worldwide (minibus taxis in 
South Africa, for example) and things aren't always quite so "nailed 
down" as they might be elsewhere.

Best Regards,
