Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, bus etiquette expects passengers to keep aisles clear. Asking someone to move to the back is polite if done with "por favor" or a soft tone. In some regions, the word "fondo" can also refer to the very rear seats, which may be less comfortable, so be aware of the listener's possible reluctance.
