quicko: more bus bloopers

So I've recently found two more Things That Can Go Wrong on a Bus:

1. You can press the button to make the bus stop -- and nothing happens. Usually a little blue sign's supposed to light up to show that the button has been adequately pushed, but sometimes it doesn't. I'm not talking about the times when it's a pale light and you think it hasn't been lighted but it really has; I'm talking about the times when regardless of which button you press anywhere on the bus absolutely nothing happens. Now, in my experience, the driver generally does stop anyway, but it's anyone's guess as to if he will the time you need to get off.

2. This is a more subtle, yet possibly quite damaging, note: you can get hit in the face (neck, arm, etc. depending on height) by a person waiting for a bus who decides to vociferously flag it down precisely at the instant you walk past them. Alarming, really.
