In one hour of clock time the bus manages only 45 km, and covering 45 km at its running speed of 54 km/h takes 45/54 hour = 50 minutes. The other 10 minutes are spent standing. (Equivalently, the 9 km lost each hour would take 9/54 hour = 10 minutes to cover. Quoting the 9 km/h shortfall as 9 minutes is the trap.)
