Generally, if a stop has several people at it, the bus will stop anyway
momentarily, and proceed on noticing that no-one is moving towards it.
Also most Germans have more sense than to wave it on if someone else may
want it, unlike the typical British public transport user.

The situation, however, is pretty rare, as Hamburg's bus network (yes, one
of those, not a typical British motley collection of unrelated routes) is
very highly rationalised, and few stops have more than a handful of
services.
