This isn't a question so I'll assume you're wondering which one he should take. The red line is the best choice bc it takes less time to get back to the stadium so he gets home faster

Wonderful!  You gave us everything we could ever possibly want
to know, except the QUESTION.   Fortunately, here at Brainly, we
have five Hogwarts drop-outs who work weekends for us as our
Department of Clairvoyance.  When people post an intriguing
question but leave out some important part of it, our D of C can
usually fill in the missing part for us ... especially on weekends.

The question you left out is:

     What is the next time that a red bus and a blue bus
     will both leave the stadium together, simultaneously
     and also both at the same time ?

Since red buses leave every 6 minutes starting at 4:00, and
blue buses leave every 8 minutes starting at 4:00, they both
leave simultaneously and also at the same time at minutes
after 4:00 that are common multiples of 6 and 8.

The least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24 .  After that,
every multiple of 24 is another common multiple of 6 and 8.
24 minutes is 4 red buses and 3 blue buses ... exactly !

A red bus and a blue bus will leave the stadium together at 4:24 .

After that, it will happen again at 24-minute intervals ... at 4:48,
5:12,  5:36,  6:00, . . . etc.
