People can exit through what ever door they want to. Dont be so anal. It only takes a few seconds to get of the bus. and if the bus is full its probably faster to use all the exits.
The OP has a valid point. Most major cities make passengers disembark through the rear door. Going through the front door slows down oncoming passengers and then the bus has to wait longer, and then everyone is held up longer. How hard is it to walk to the rear door, or is the passenger just lazy.
Sometimes disabled folks need to use the front door. I wonder what PDG has to say about bus exiting procedures on Metro Transit. My favourite is the ferry, where exiting/boarding is simplified. Everybody leaves the vessel before oncoming passengers board. Ahhhhh, the ferry! Metro Transit’s little jewel! Topside seulement!
i want to point out that sometimes it’s next to impossible to get out the back door, as there are about a dozen people standing inbetween me and the door. i try to take the rear exit as much as possible, but sometimes it’s much faster and easier to get out the front. i’ve got one word for you, and anyone else worrying about such trivial things….leddigo.
I haven’t been on the ferry in quite awhile…but I heard that it is verboten to smoke on the outside upper deck !
The level of stupid just gets higher & higher in this Province, after all you don’t want them smoking indoors or out…I wonder where they are suppose to smoke their over taxed cigarette’s at ?

You want to smoke your cancer sticks – do it at your house.
The ferry (inside and out), is a public conveyance and you have no right to smoke anywhere on it. You also pay taxes on booze and FYI you can’t consume that on the ferry either.
You are right, the level of stupidity in the province is getting higher and higher. Your comment is proof.
listen to seb.. he knows a thing or two about disembark through the rear door
If the stubborn ass people boarding the bus would just wait patiently until everyone exiting the bus was out then I don’t see a problem which door you use. What kind of ignorant fuck tries to barge their way onto a bus with people trying to get off, and then has the nerve to write a bitch about it? Common fucking deciency people, I know it can’t be completely dead.
p.d.g., is that you? i agree that assholes should go out the back door. if people read what is printed at the front usually, they would know this. the only exceptions should be wheel chairs and of course strollers. but please people, keep those fucking big double and triple fucks off buses. it makes it hard on everyone to move.
“If the stubborn ass people boarding the bus would just wait patiently …” I KNOW! You’d think they were giving away free food in the damn bus. Bloody hell just wait!
I don’t like it when people get on a packed bus and don’t move past the first couple of seats. This ends up with a huge clump of people at the front of the bus and no one else can get on. I’ve seen bus drivers yell fruitlessly at passengers to move back and not a single person budges. I just excuse myself and barge through everyone to the space (and sometimes seats) at the back of the bus.
Man some people bitch about the STUPIDEST things. A fucking bus door.
Fuck off, op. If i’m travelling with my baby, a diaper bag& a stroller which i have so decently folded, i get on and sit at the front, which means i EXIT the front, so as to NOT have to maintain my balace as i push through the hoardes of deaf people who don’t give a shit that if they don’t move out of the way i will miss my stop
I’m sorry but if it’s raining cats and dogs like it has been and you don’t *require* front door disembarking (which is cromulent for previously-mentioned groups of transit users, like wheelchair users, people with strollers, etc), then I agree with the O.B. Make your exit through the back door. Some of us are miserable in the elements and just really need to get on the damned bus already.
First off, not my bitch.
Personally, I think passengers should disembark through the door of least resistance. In most cases this is the back door, especially if you’re sitting behind it. I can’t begin to tell you how many people sitting in the very back of the bus actually walk up to the front to exit. Now, if there are a group of asshats standing by the back door, by all means use the front and vice versa. If you are elderly, disabled, or have large cargo like strollers or grocery carts, the front door is best because I can lower it to get you out faster and easier. If you are in the way of someone exiting the bus, move out of the way please.
One of my greatest transit pet peeves is people who barge onto the bus without looking. Usually, they have their heads down. Those who look up and maybe around usually step aside to let people off. Now, if you’re at the farebox and in someone’s way, the best and quickest thing for you to do is BACK UP and off the bus. I’ll get everyone on that can fit on, I won’t drive away on anyone who is standing at a stop at the time I stop the bus. Relax, don’t do it, wait for disembarking passengers.
I concur with PDG.
I agree with PDG too. Especially on the assclowns who get off the bus from the front when they’re sitting past or close to the back door and there’s no resistance there. I’ve actually had people try to push me out of the way of going out the back door and they were sitting closer to it than me (behind the back door and I was sitting just in front). RIDICULOUS.
Also: zZz — you better watch out: sebastard might go cry “homophobia” on your ass to maude with comments like that. Since he’s a hypocritical whiner like that, yo’
there are signs all over the bus saying exit through the back door
its fucking annoying. especially when its raining. if youre disabled, thats fine. if youre able, get off through the back. it makes complete sense.
PK, it was too perfect not to be said.
I had to at least try.
