| Comment | At least for the last points:
* If you're using a debit card, it'll say on the card reader what the price is beforehand (it's the little blue screen, quite small but it's lit up).
* Waving down a bus - this really depends on the stop. If it's a "major" stop (say at the bus station, no need to). If there aren't many other buses that stop there, or they all go roughly to the same place, you probably don't need to. And most bus drivers tend to be able to tell when people are waiting for them as they get used to a route. But as a rule of thumb, if you're not sure, you're better off always sticking your hand out until it looks like they're stopping.
* The app really helps with this (it'll show all the bus stops for you, and if you're at a stop it'll show you the buses that are due there). What I normally find helpful is to find a landmark (say a noticeable shop) that's a little bit before your step, then press the stop button when you see that.
If it's any solace - the buses are confusing for lots of other people as well. You're certainly not alone in that, unfortunately :( |
