I used to be a regular on the Coast Road services into Haymarket, and it was quite normal for the driver to shout up the stairs if they were likely to be waiting at St Marys Place for a few minutes.
And yes, the bus used to empty out at that point. For me, it would depend on whether I had a need to be on my way, or if I was feeling REALLY lazy!
