Why did they have to sneak Andreas onto the bus at the end?

I just saw this movie and thought it was great, but I have one question: at the end of the movie, the two 'bouncer' guys sneak Andreas into the luggage/engine compartment of the bus, while the bus driver is occupied saying goodbye to the old lady on the other side of the bus.

What is the significance of that? Why couldn't they just put Andreas on the bus as a passenger, in the normal fashion? Would the bus driver have objected? Was Andreas' eviction from the city something underhanded/illegal that the bouncers needed to keep secret?

They snuck him in because that is a place where people arrive, but no one leaves. It's purgatory, or some sort of afterlife. They're already dead, they can't return to normal life.
