Any other buswánkers here?

I have now used the bus 5 times in the last 6 or 7 years, and every journey has been, well, fine. You have to go to the bus stop and look at the map to find out which number bus you need, but it's not too hard. Also, there's a sign on the bus which tells you which stop is next.

The only thing I don't understand is the bell which I think you're supposed to press to make the bus stop. I noticed, however, that the bus stopped even when no one pressed the bell, so who knows? I press it anyway, just to be safe, but I don't want to be identifiable as a noob. Any advice?

Buses sometimes stop when no-one presses the bell because either someone at the bus stop signals that they want to get on, or because the next port of call is a Bus Stop rather than a Request Stop which means that the bus automatically stops there without anyone signalling that they want to get on, or signalling that they want to get off.

That all seems clear, a. Thank you.
