Just a point to make to everyone who is so excited about "saving time" by not going to the counter. (which I have also done on my last trip)
Unless you hit the timing exactly right, you are still going to wait just as long for your bus.
Lets say it's 10:00 AM and the next bus leaves at 10:30 (I know, it does not leave at a set time, but instead based on queue lenght, time waiting, etc etc)
What difference is it if you wait 20 minutes in the check-in line, scan your stuff and then wait 10 in the bus line.
or
You go directly to a 30 minute wait for the bus.
As an other aside, I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 or 10 minutes to get to the counter.
