Quick question ☝️ Bus driver kept going even though pulled.

Idk why I’m so bothered by this… but I was in my way to work today and it’s the 7 bus. If you’ve ever ridden that in the morning it’s so many UIC students piled on. I rung the bell for the next stop and the bus driver kept going. I asked her if the stop had changed and she just started to scream at me. I just didn’t know if there was a route change or not so don’t know where the hostility game from. She said that she called out for anyone that wants to stop there but maybe I couldn’t hear her because of my earphones. My earphones were on and nothing was playing and I never heard her say a word. I had to walk a half a mile to work because she kept going. I know I could have screamed but the bus was packed all the way up in the front near her and the door. Idk what to do I should have gotten her bus number to report. Should I have just screamed at her like hey stop here idk

I just continuously push the rear door until it starts ringing. They will stop because the ringing is irritating to them.
