In every bus I’ve ever seen, the stop cable isn’t an ‘emergency stop’ cable – it doesn’t actuate the bus’s brakes or anything like that.
All it does is light up a little light in in the driver’s view – it tells them that you’re requesting a stop, so they should stop at the next bus stop, even if nobody is waiting to board there. Otherwise, the driver might pass by your stop without stopping if nobody there is waiting to get on the bus.
