Boarding and alighting
The driver will first open the front door only to let the boarding passengers in and check the validity of their tickets. Only after that can they open the other doors to let the alighting passengers out.
The bus or tram driver can do this on any route and at any stop, if they suspect one or more of the waiting passengers of not having a valid ticket. Opposingly – in case of severe delays or too many passengers on board – they might as well let the alighting passengers out at the same time they open the front door.
