Other countries don't have the clothesline thing? Is there another way too signal for the next stop? Or you just talk to the driver?

    every other row of seats there's a button to press that rings a little bell to the driver

    I like the clothesline more because every seat has it in reach without standing up and you don't have to look around for it.

    Japanese buses have a button accessible from every seat while seated. It’s better for accessibility, safety, and you don’t have to inconvenience the person in the window seat if you’re in the aisle.

    It’s one of those things that are not expensive at all and would be simple to implement if we didn’t funnel 99.999% of the productive value of society to 10 people
