I'd say there's a very good reason for having it on the front. I can think of four bus stations off the top of my head, where buses have to reverse out of the stands. Hence you have a problem of people running towards the bus doors, as it's reversing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that having a warning destination will rid the world of idiots, but it'll certainly reduce the number trying to board a reversing bus.
