Hang on a sec, if everyone remains seated until the bus has stopped, it'll only stop at the end of the line. You need to get up and go to the front of the bus, so that the driver knows to stop at the next stop. Or at least that's how it works around here.The article wrote:6.

Can't as I am too big for the normal seats, so I have to rush to get that sideways seat at the front3. Enter the bus in a calm and safe manner.
No staff on buses where I live, just a driver4. Be directed to a downstairs seat by a member of staff

Here, you press the bell and then stand immediately without being requested to.6. Wait until the bus has stopped, stand on request and exit the bus

1. a bit sarky.
2. a bit witty
3. a bit sad
