This is one of my major bugbears ... the driver should say the bus is
running short before you pay. I get the bus home from Fleet St. The
buses drive nose-to-tail during rush hour and you don't get an
opportunity to see the front of the bus. Usually the driver opens the
doors about 50-100m from the stop (since he's in almost stationary
traffic, so people are eager to get off) so running up to the bus to
make sure you get on (he's not going to stop again) it means you don't
have time, nor the visibility to check if the bus is going where it's
supposed to.

Slightly different on bendys, but I don't see why a driver should have
any problem in just telling people boarding that "this bus terminates
at Moorgate" to people getting on at St Pauls, or wherever.
