Bus etiquette question: why is the convention for the first people boarding to stop for a moment, then sit down. Also, why do they fill in the front seats first when we're boarding lots of people from the front?

re the last: I think this is why busses with rear doors are so prevalent
<UmbralRaptop>
As a way to exit, sure. But do any use it as an entrance?

why do they fill the front seats first? that's imho bad bus ettiquete
<SnoopJeDi>
I'd hazard a guess at "want to ensure the bus can get going again as soon as possible" as some sort of implicit motivator

UmbralRaptop, I think the idea behind their design is always boarding at the front, always departing in the rear, so there is overall a preferred direction of flow.
