Not at all how it happens in Brazil, it's free for all, especially as sometimes the bus might already be so fucking packed it won't fit everyone trying to get in. I've had that happen to me several times and I also had the "pleasure" of being the last person to find a way to squeeze in more than once.

Some 10 to 7-ish years ago, it was also very common to have attention seeking idiots who'd put their phones on max volume and play their shitty music so everyone else had to listen, sometimes ending in a fight. This shit apparently died out, thank fuck
