you have to accept its not your personal transport.

It is not being bloody minded for the sake of it, if they let you off away
from a stop and you trip and fall, the company is not insured and the
driver can lose his job.

And the local cabbies will be on to the rail company, and the bus company,
because they see it as the bus driver providing an illegal taxi service, and
lost trade for themselves.
