This is either a troll or a person who did not check for the bleep and
green light on boarding.


Probably the latter. I doubt everybody instinctively knows to wait for
a bleep and a green light.

Seeing as this wasn't a bendy-bus, why didn't the driver point out
traveller's error right away? That's what the drivers here do when the
farebox gives a boop instead of a beep.
