Seems to happen quite often in situations where
- Passenger wants stop P
- Stop P is a couple of hundred metres down the road from stop Q
- Stop Q is a timed stop
that the bus will pull in at stop Q and wait for several minutes for its scheduled departure time - then as soon as the bus starts moving again, the passenger rings the bell and alights. Whereas, if they had got off that Q and simply walked the last few seconds down the road to P, they would have saved themselves a substantial amount of time
Has anyone else seen this, and why do people do it? Often the passenger will be able to actually see the stop they want out of the window, and yet won't get out and walk to it despite it being apparent the bus isn't going anywhere!
