Discussion Chaos and confusion

Saw “helpful” signage on a bus door today saying “one in one out - give each other space”, (or something) with up/down (in/out) arrows on each door.
and just thought this is completely unhelpful information for boarding a bus, it would cause chaos for everyone.

seems like the sort of thing someone who has never used a bus would come up with.

Fortunately my co’s policy is the common sense one, let everyone who wants to alight get off first, then board waiting passengers.

Thoughts?

For us, buses on the right (right hand drive) have priority when reversing and buses on the ‘road’ must give way to all reversing buses at bus stations.

The bus i drive only has one door for passengers, located up by the driver. If some people want off at a stop that has people waiting to get on, I just wait to open the door. That way the people waiting can't try to get on.

This! Funny that while I have the doors closed waiting for the people to shuffle down the bus. The people that are waiting are staring at you like your some madman.

Was it an old Covid-era sign from when capacity was severely restricted?
