It's not the first and I don't suppose it'll be the last time that this
old chestnut comes up.

There's no really easy solution. "Imprison" someone in a bus stuck at
traffic and they get irritated and it can lead to friction. Let them
off and they get hurt and as Ivor says they'll sue (or try to).

It's one reason I so prefer Routemasters in London. When the Oxford
Street traffic bungs up you can just hop off. I've been very
frustrated at being stuck on a 73 unable to do so on more than one
occasion.

For what it's worth, I think that if you leave between stops it should
be at your own rest but then I'm no lawyer!
