Can I Beat Manchester's Shortest Bus Route on Foot? (Didn't Go as Planned...)

Can I walk faster than what is probably the shortest rail replacement bus service in the UK?
Due to work on Manchester's London Road (which isn't anywhere in or even near London), a decidated tram replacement bus service has been created running between Piccadilly and Piccadilly Gardens stations.
Yes, a service with multiple buses just for a single stop ride that according to Transport for Greater Manchester, takes about 5 minutes to walk. We appreciate the thought though, and the fact that it gives commuters an option.
With these stations being only 0.3 miles apart, will it be faster to walk between them rather than getting the bus?

Me when NSL breakdown

[@glitchFan2428]

Haha which stations you walking between tho 😅

[@weesgaming7021]

I mean, sure, you beat the bus by 4 minutes, but is the exhaustion worth it? It totally depends on the person, because an OAP or wheelchair-bound passenger will find it easier to take the bus than hobble/wheel themselves the same walking route you took.

[@glitchFan2428]

Fair enough 👍🏻

[@resketless]

Maybe the bus was a off service bus but i guess walking is faster then waiting for rail replacement bus

[@glitchFan2428]

Yeah considering the frequency is every 15 minutes, which is something I forgot to mention in the video

[@Johnny_Liu_5607]

Stopwatch might help.

[@glitchFan2428]

I used my phone to keep the time, perhaps it'll be an idea next time to have a stopwatch counter although that does mean I'll have to keep recording continuously to get the exact time
