Bus Rt 104 provides customers service from 69th Street terminal to West Chester Transportation Center (Septa's new eight story parking garage)...http://septa.org/schedules/bus/pdf/104.pdf indicates 2 cases where a bus leaves or arrives at 69th St within 5 minutes of another, am 6:00 and 6:05 leaves 7:55 and 8:00 arrives, but not where both are West Chester buses, rather one of each of those 2 pairs only goes to or from Newtown Square. The West Chester bus service is pretty uniformly once every 30 minutes, with a few 20 minute headways at rush hour.
Busses run every five minutes

Even if you're only talking about suburban routes I'd think any of the ones through Yeadon and Darby would traverse more heavily populated areas than West Chester Pike. For example the http://septa.org/schedules/bus/pdf/109.pdf 69th St to Chester, which consistently has 15-20 minute weekday headways, indicates it might have more riders than the 104.
