    It was like this in the Bay Area when I lived there, like in Alameda county at least. People exited at the rear doors and gave a thank you to the driver. Became a habit for me. I moved to Norway a few years ago and absent-mindedly said “Takk!” as I exited and I was quickly educated that, we don’t do that here.

      I started doing it years ago in Belgium and I see more people do it these days. I don’t shout but wave at the mirror. Bus drivers watch the mirror to check when to close their doors. After a while they get to know you and they trend to be more welcoming when you enter the bus.
