The bus driver who yelled 'stop ringing the bell twice' changed my whole approach to signaling for my stop
After she pulled over and made eye contact in the mirror, I realized I was that person hitting it early and then again at the actual stop, so now I just wait until we pass the landmark and ring once, has anyone else gotten called out by a driver for something like that?

Rang the bell too early once and the driver just drove past my stop without slowing down. Had to walk like six blocks back. Learned my lesson quick though, one solid ring when you actually see the stop is all you need.

The driver probably didn't notice because you rang too early. Timing it right matters more than how hard you ring.

Agree with the timing thing, but also think people overthink how to ring the bell. I mean, you don't have to slam it like you're trying to break it, but one solid press when you see your stop should be enough. Maybe it's just me but I always wait until we're like a block away and then just give it one quick ring. Never had an issue. Idk, maybe some drivers just zone out and miss it no matter what you do.
