Pro tip: Using the side street bus stop cuts my wait time in half

I ride the number 14 bus every day and the main stop near my apartment is always packed. Last week, I saw a regular rider get off a block early and walk down a side street. I followed them and found a smaller stop that the same bus uses before the crowded one. Now I walk that extra block and always get on without fighting for space. The driver even told me fewer people know about it, so it's rarely busy. This little hack has made my morning commute way more relaxed. Do you have any secret stops on your route?

Driver said fewer know about it, why's that?

Might be the driver's info is a bit old. Things spread faster online now than through word of mouth sometimes.
