Buses pick up people at bus stops only.
People get on the bus at the front door and get off at the back door. If you want the bus driver to let you off at the next bus stop, pull the cord above your seat. In most cities, you need exact change or a monthly pass. You must ask for a transfer from the driver when you pay your fare. If you take the bus a lot it may be cheaper to buy a monthly pass.
