i can't believe that people even complain of such things...even though i do admit it can be annoying sometimes when the driver does that. Did you ever consider looking at the situation? Was the bus stop crowded at the boarding area? Would it be dangerous if the bus stops nearer (Maybe because someone is standing very near to the road kerb)? What if the side mirrors hit commuter's head?

Please, be empathetic, think of the bus driver. If he stop too front, people may
then complain his driving is dangerous.
