Ah, so a sort of flat palm Stop signal? A bit of an arm contortion!
I usually wait for buses that are indicating out as I feel it's only polite - they are usually carrying a lot of people, after all. Often give some indication that I am waiting for them (like a sort of hand-waving "after you" sign) otherwise they wait, I wait etc but I don't like to say "it's okay you can go now" in any situation where something else might come careering past me and cause an accident. Read too many incidents where a car flashes for another car to turn in front of them, it does so and takes out a bike/motorbike in the next lane etc.
