Same sort of thing happens on Rail Replacement trips... passengers want
to be let off all over the place, when the contract is for either
actual railway station forecourts, or suitable SPECIFIED bus stops on
the main road nearby.

As a passenger on such buses I can understand the problem.

Why should I be driven down my Village's High Street (where I live) and
not be let off until the bus has gone as far as the railway station a
mile outside the village?

Being on the bus is one inconvenience, passing my house and expecting me
to walk a mile back is an inconvenience too far.
