* stopping at bus stops, *and* opening the exit doors (sometimes
remembering just the first is too much for them)


Most (all) bus doors have an emergency open inside. Next time the driver
can' be arsed to open the doors use it. Thats what I did once. He got well
****ed off but that was his problem not mine. Also all busses have an
emergency engine cut out near the rear. If it looks like a bus is going to

sail
past a compulsory stop you're waiting at but he gets stuck in traffic

nearby it
could be interesting to see what would happen if someone pushed it.

Using the emergency open can also activate the parking brake. So if the bus
isn't at a stop and you feel like getting off in a hurry you will cause
injuries. Emergency engine stops are easy to restart inside the cab. If you
do activate one, don't expect the driver to let you board.
