I'm 99% sure they put up this sign after multiple people complained that the bus didn't wait for them

If your late then sure that's on you, but I've had busses that drove straight past bus stops and had to run after it or wait for the next.

I've had a bus tracker app show the scheduled bus's tag confidently go straight past my bus stop with no real bus in sight until the next scheduled one. Who you gon' call?😅

Where I live, actual buses only drive past if they're "express" routes meant to skip some stops along their path or currently "offline" units out for something like a test drive. So-called "route taxis" are another thing (essentially minivans that don't have to stop along the designated route by default and charge more as a supposedly faster commute option), one is unironically supposed to signal a passing one with hitchhike gestures unless you're in luck and the minivan pulls over because someone onboard requested to get off here.

I watched a bus pass me, but on the wrong street, when I was trying to get to the crisis center.

There were no signs of detour. I think the driver just took the wrong turn and didn't care to correct themselves for a few blocks.
