This article from the Daily Mail was pined up in the Pay in room at work.
All you need to know about how to get on a bus but were afraid to ask.
The item also appears on the Stagecoachbus site.
Shame the Mail used a picture of a bus that is no longer on the road.
Please feel free to add any instruction you think have been left out.

Help, it doesn't tell me what to do once I press the bell.
You'd be surprised how THICK some people are. Was waiting at Taunton Station, and these two old ladies were having a conversation. One was saying how a driver shouted at her. All because she tried to open the doors herself (They didn't open immediately so she put her hands on and the bus driver narrowly missed chopping her hands off).
I know I shouldn't have been listening but they were stood right next to me pretty much shouting.
Well I'm not exactly front line staff, and only pass through the control office on odd occasions - yet at least once a fortnight I get asked "where do I pay?"....
And, of course, there are our recent immigrant friends from different cultures...
Plus there's a largeish number of concessionary pass-holders (bless'em) who've "always used the car before, but now it's free....)
Not so daft after all perhaps...
Daily Mail journalists catching a bus?
Snap! Someone pinned this up in our Paying in room too.
How about -
"Use an updated/correct pic when reporting on how to ues a bus correctly?"
Love the blog!
2a. Ensure it is EXACTLY the route you need (12 vs 12a, etc. etc.).
BTW, do you have route destination written anywhere on the bus stop? If the answer is 'yes', then:
1a. After arriving at the bus stop, make sure the direction of your intended travel is correct.
Actually all bus companies have something similar on their site.
Trent Barton imply that theirs is for idiots in the text 'people are surprised at how easy the buses are to use'
Problem is someone always invents a better idiot!
