You have to put your hand up when the bus is coming or it doesn't stop (Ireland). This is because multiple routes service the same stops, so it wont stop by default.
This is a pretty fun thing to learn the hard way when you need to be somewhere important and you stand there doe eyed when the bus you made sure you were there for on time barrels by you in the rain
Oh it's the same in Taiwan!
Also, to stop, you need to press the stop button in the bus. In my country (Lithuania) all buses had these stop buttons, but they were never used. Took me a bit to understand, that people actually use them here.
We use the stop button in the US too. But they do stop when they see someone waiting at a stop by default.
yeah, we also have the stop button, you have to use them or on you go
