Interesting - a change to the German system where the default is to
stop, unless there is no intending passenger or (unofficially) the
passenger waves the bus past.

This is a far more friendly system, though it can be a bit wasteful if
a lot of routes serve one stop (though the best solution to that is to
change things so a lot of routes no longer serve one stop).

I don't see that as a Good Thing, certainly not while we have the current
fare structure of 'one ride, one fare'. In a city as massive as London it
is a fact of life that you need multiple routes from a given point to
cover all the journeys required. Unless you mean that each route should
have their own exclusive stops just a few meters from each other. But then
the whole street would be one massive bus stop with no room to park cars.
Ahhhh, yes, I see where you're going now. Good call.
