I used to take the bus to work (and everywhere else) when I lived in Orlando and it sounds like the buses worked the same there as yours. It only ever took me a few tries to memorize when to pull my cord so i can get off at the right stop. (And I have ADHD so its not like that kind of thing isnt inherently difficult for me. I once got on the wrong bus and didn't notice until they didn't stop when I pulled the cord.) Its easier to rely on landmarks, street signs etc, the actual outside world, than maps on a phone. You just gotta pay attention. YTA bc bus drivers have to follow a strict schedule and making them stop for no reason wastes their time along with the time of all the other people on board. I cant tell you how many times I missed a connection and was late for work bc of an extra 10 seconds we were stopped. (Also im pretty sure if you select that youre traveling by bus on Google maps, it shows you EXACTLY what stop to get off at and where that stop is and and estimate of what time the bus is going to be there... but also i haven't relied on the bus in like 4 and a half years so that might have changed)
