Could not hear the driver of what he was talking about. Bus stop to drop off or pick up customers so quick. It needs to allow more time for customers getting off and getting on the bus in a comfort way, not a rush, when lots of customers are elderly people. Lots of people on the same bus as us, shaking their heads and hands body language to show that they did not figure out what the driver was trying to say. It needs to come up with a way that the customers need to get off the bus, to inform the driver know that they would like to get off at a specific location.
