Default Strange buttons on Bendy buses

I've noticed by the "bay" of 4 seats near the front of the bus on
Mercedes Articulated buses there is a button which reminds me of the
door open buttons on mainline trains. They only seem to light up when
the bell has been pressed.


I can't help thinking it should be the other way around... they should
be lit when you need to press them, and they should go unlit after
someone has rung the bell.


Hmm. Lit buttons. More complications, do we need them..? There are already
signs in the bus saying "Stopping" or similar when the bell has been
pressed, do we really need illuminated buttons as well..? I hope they're
high-brightness LED's, 'cos sure as eggs are eggs if they're filament
bulbs, once they've blown that'll be it..!
