We have over 30 trips and have never seen people shoving.I'm stressed out just reading how much goes thru people's minds when they get on a bus...
If you're early or it's not crowded, sit down. As long as you get on, who cares in what order. If it gets crowded and people gather by the curb, go by the curb so you don't miss out. We've never shoved someone nor been shoved. I'm not taking away from peoples' stories, I'm sure someone out there has shoved someone else while getting on a bus, but that's the exception and not the norm.
It's also interesting hearing the stories about people getting shoved... but no stories about that time you shoved someone to get ahead. Surely those folks must be out there? Are there any shovers on the Dis who will share their experience? What drives you? Was it a good push, more of a nudge, or maybe a full contact step-and-block? How did you effectively leverage your stroller / backpack / other implement? I'd like to hear from the other side.
With the live times being posted now, there should be no more guessing what bus is coming or when it's coming. If I see that our bus is next, I will stand in line or start the line, the people sitting has the same information that I have and can do the same or stay seated it's their choice.
I also have my stroller folded and ready, not holding everyone up by doing this in front of the bus door.
