Please humour me on this one...

2 hours, not 6 months, and April, coinciding with the spring schedule change, is when it's planned to become fully operational. That's purely logistical.
Operators need to be familiar with the roadway before operating on it. Pretty simple. All newly hired operators will get that training within the 6 week new operator training period. And yes, being a road with few exits, there are specific emergency procedures, nothing to do with the buses themselves.
I suppose if you've never operated a Transit bus and are probably an infrequent rider you'd have no clue as to the planning and preparation involved.
