What happens if a bus is full and cannot take on more passengers?

When a bus reaches its maximum capacity and cannot accommodate additional passengers, the driver typically responds by passing by remaining bus stops until a space becomes available. This approach ensures that the bus maintains its schedule and safety protocols, as allowing more passengers on an already full bus could pose a safety hazard and negatively impact the comfort of those already on board. Therefore, the driver will not pick up any new passengers until a few disembark from the bus or until the next bus arrives at the stop, thus ensuring the bus adheres to its operational guidelines.

Options suggesting that the driver would ask passengers to disembark or wait for them to leave do not align with standard transit protocol, as this could create confusion and lead to safety risks. Similarly, making an additional loop is impractical when the focus is on efficient service and adherence to the schedule; it could complicate operations and exacerbate the issue of passenger volume.
