If someone pulls the cord or there's someone waiting at it, yes.  But it's
not like a bus station where the bus will always stop regardless of demand.

Next to the road roughly guesstimating the closest safe spot for the driver
to stop at.  Occasionally an advertising company will notice the presence
of passengers waiting and drop a bench with a billboard on it, but the
city, the transit agency and/or the landowner they left it on are somewhat
quick to remove them.

 No, you can board, too.
