> Some buses in London also have "Hail and Ride" zones, where a bus can be stopped with a wave on the hand at any point on the route.

Unfortunately in my experience growing up in London, such zones really operated with informal unmarked stops. The buses would only stop at these points and would drive past someone hailing between them.

So it was no different from the usual system, except the bus stops were not marked and therefore useless to anyone not familiar with the bus route.
