If a bunch of people head to the front door to get off the bus, do not stand at the closed rear door, wait until everyone exits via the front, and then say “rear door.”

Sheesh, how much energy is involved in walking to the front of the bus?

> And while we’re at it, drivers who jack-rabbit away from bus stops before passengers are seated or at least have a grip on something should be fired immediately. I saw one limping vet catapulted down the aisle by one asshole driver. His friend yelled at the driver that she was an asshole, which didn’t stop her from continuing the practice at every stop. Perhaps a lawsuit for several million dollars would stop this nonsense, but I really think a good beat-down would be more satisfying.

On a similar note, drivers who seem to be playing “passenger ping-pong” on corners by taking them harder than necessary, causing passengers to slide around on seats. For someone who’s already having back or hip pain, that is REALLY annoying.
