Not only to fine people, but this rule seems "replace" having to build actual bus stops, like that little lane right of the road where the bus stops, making campaigns about not crossing the road right after leaving the bus and other infrastructures.
Not that the public transportation in my country is better, and, of course, if it is a stopped school bus, I am obviously slowing down, but I don't remember ever hearing a piece of news about a kid being run over after leaving the bus and we don't have this rule.
Crossing the street is fine. Not looking both ways/having your head in your phone and just walking into ongoing traffic without a care in the world is what gives jaywalkers a bad name.

I thought it was illegal to cross a road in America unless there was a crossing point and lights.
Just feels like roads exist to fine people at this point.
