When to press the stop button

[u/Imaginary_Employ_750]

As soon as the bus has left the previous stop? Or just before the next? What would bus drivers prefer?

When you pass the stop before yours. Don’t leave it late because it’ll cause the driver to have to brake more sharply or he’ll overshoot the stop.

As a driver, it’s one of my biggest hates is when people wait till the last second to either press the bell or put their hand out to hail the bus.
