The back door trick on the 42 bus actually saves time

I kept hearing people complain that the 42 bus in Denver takes forever because the driver stops at every single curb. But I found out that if you stand right by the back door and make eye contact with the driver through the mirror, they'll often let you off there without waiting for the front. I tried it about two weeks ago and it cut my ride by a good 5 minutes one morning. Has anyone else gotten away with this on other routes, or am I just lucky?

Must be nice living on the edge like that. I tried that back door move once on the 15 line and the driver just stared at me like I asked him to personally drive me to my front door. Then he opened the front door and waited. So I had to shuffle all the way up through the crowd looking like a complete fool. The 42 driver must be either super chill or just tired of your face already.

So the 42 driver's either super chill or tired of your face, huh - which one you betting on?
