Hi,

Colloquial things to say -
eg Can you drop me here, please?
eg Can you stop and let me off here, please?

Actually, I want to mean :

Mr.Driver : Why don't you get off ?
Me : Hmm, can you stop some more ahead ?( means can you stop your bus anywhere ahead one time or more )
Mr.Driver : No, this is the last bus stop. You know it, don't you !?
Me : I know, but it's still far from my house. Can you drop me closer, please ?
Mr.Driver : But there's no bus stop left ahead.
Me : I know it's not appropriate, but just one time, please.

Is it correct to use 'Can you stop some more ahead ?' in this case.

Hi,

'Some more' sounds a bit odd. If you want to say something like that, say 'Can you stop again?'

You don't need to say 'ahead'. That's assumed.

Where I live, bus drivers won't do this.

No. You could say,

"Could you let me off a little farther ahead, please?"
or
"Could you make one extra stop between here and the station, please?"
