Bus Queuing Etiquette


Is it just me or are the people who are lining up along the foot path for the bus actually doing the right thing. Why do people who see people waiting in line congregate around the top of the line to get onto the bus first? Do these people carry VIP passes? I would imagine not otherwise they wouldn’t be catching the bus. Several times I have pulled people back by saying “excuse me but I think the end of the line is that way”. Not sure why they look at me with a dishpan face and reply “Oh”. After speaking with my colleagues about this they couldn’t believe the difference in bus etiquette between the Northside and Inner City/West. Northside this is some sort of line formula with decorum where Inner City has the European method. Gather in a huddle and where the bus stops determine who gets on first. What are your experiences and is it just me but why cant people line up and just be patient?
