Is it possible that the driver knows that you are staying on from the end of one route to the beginning of another (when it loops around) and that they don't necessarily always loop around? Like say their shift ends or they have a break and another bus take over the route. I don't ride that much but it doesn't seem totally unreasonable that they would consider each direction a separate route, and have a reason or policy against letting people just stay on.

This bus always loops around, which is why it was so weird to me! They only relieve the bus driver/change out busses at the start of the route near willow lawn.

I've been on the bus at the end of a driver's shift and she just stopped at a bus stop, got off and the new driver got on. Probably not end of shift, otherwise they'd probably put the "not in service" message on.
