Have you ever had to hail the bus driver at the first stop?

Just got on a bus at the first stop (the 210 bus at Bardon street), and the bus driver almost drove past, then stopped further down, only opened the front door, then yelled at us all as we were getting on (there were like 10 of us waiting at this bus stop), saying that we need to hail the bus and that we should “get off your phones and put your hand out”.

I said back to her “but it’s the first stop? I’ve never had to hail for the first stop before?” And she just kept going on about it. Another guy also backed me up.

So I’m just wondering, are bus drivers actually trained to not stop at the first stop if not hailed? Bc I’ve literally seen busses wait at their first stop with no one at the stop or on the bus. I’m just very confused and also annoyed bc I also had to wait 20 mins for that bus on a street with an incredibly annoying consistent high pitched noise.

This is the first time I’ve not thanked the bus driver in my entire life… couldn’t bring myself to do it after she’d been so rude…
