Default Old People & Front Doors on Buses

We are meant to board buses by the front door and alight by the centre doors.

Why do old people only want to use the front doors for both?

The facility of egress would seem identical.


We were brought up to be polite and say thankyou to the driver?

I try and give a noticeable wave to the exterior mirror on alighting.
Not sure how effective this is.

Re the OP's point - my experience differs, most people including the
elderly (whatever that means nowadays) use the centre doors for alighting.
