Why did the driver not stop even though I waved my hand to indicate that I wanted to get on the bus?

If the driver does not stop, this may be because they did not see your signal due to having to concentrate on other traffic. The best way to ensure that the bus will stop is to raise your hand to signal the driver well in advance. You should not lower your hand until you see the driver engage the turning signal to indicate stopping. In low light in the morning or evening, it is a good idea to improve the visibility of the hand signal by using the reflective bus card sleeve or an activated mobile phone screen.
