Busses Left Station Back to Back

Was waiting for the bus at Ponce City Market, and they were bunched up, as you can see in the photo. That's totally understandable, traffic can be unpredictable, etc, except I saw on the Marta on the Go app these two busses leave Edgewood station at the same time. It seems like the kind of thing you would do if you were optimizing for minimizing the total lateness of busses instead of minimizing time people spent at bus stops. It makes the route have effectively one less bus. Is there something I'm not understanding here?
