Mirrors are back there, but people do bump them during a run, and until I get to the next time piont/layover, I feel uneasy about the back door until I can re adjust the mirror.

Having the door open engages something called brake-door interlock, which is a safety measure that is supposed to prevent the bus from moving if the back door is open. That safety feature *doesn't* always work, so be cautious. However, having the door open also makes it more likely that the driver will notice that you are not all the way off the bus yet. I always preferred (and some systems make it a policy) that customers with small children exit through the front door whenever possible. Sometimes, depending on the mirror setup of the particular bus, it can be difficult to see everything in the back stairwell, and it is *especially* easy to miss a small child. Passengers, if you are sitting near the front of the bus in one of the side-facing seats, it is courteous to allow someone with small children to occupy those seats, just as you would for an elderly or disabled passenger.

I ride on the older red articaluated bus on old #8 North (Currently #22), their mother got off the bus left the toddler behind, as driver closes door and toddler stand on the door steps. I yelled at bus driver "WHOA! EMERGENCY STOP!" the driver saw a toddler stand on the step near the door, a driver waits for their mother to be pick the toddler up at the door whew! Driver should have look at the door for clear before being pulled away. Oh yes, I remember, I was a teenhood..
