What are the doors on a bus called?
How do you describe the doors in the front and the back?
Is it door or entrance? Is it front or forward, back or rear?

Examples of where it could be used:

The people waiting at the bus-stop formed a line to the x

The bus stopped outside the store and he got off through the x

Best Answer

I offer you this Transport for London Government website talking about their new double-decker buses, where they describe the staircases:

two staircases, one near the front and one at the back

But they describe the doors:

the rear doors will be operated by the driver.

I vote that the "front and rear doors" are "at the front and back of the bus", and "forward doors" doesn't sound right at all.
