It's not a problem with normal 'deckers: people come down before a stop,
and go up after it.


.... said someone who has never used a busy double decker.

You often *can't* go down the stairs before the stop because there are
people standing at the bottom, and of course there are people less
steady on their feet who are not comfortable walking about the upper
deck or down the stairs when the bus is moving. And of course because of
all the people coming down the stairs most people can't board until
they're all gone, because they're blocking not just the route to the
upper floor, but also the route to the back of the bus.
