Yield stickers on the back left side. . .

I think due to the novelty of the law, you will need a flashing light of some kind, preferably a flashing "Yield" shape on the bus. It can automatically blink when the driver signals left just after closing / locking the doors.

In Boston, I know that the Green Line has those signs on the doors not to pass on the right while doors are open so that passengers can board / alight but honestly I'm not sure if the average driver would know that the doors were really telling them to stop (assuming they did not know the law already) -- they may look more like graffiti at first glance.

Toronto's Flexity delivery seems to have it right based on what I've seen on YouTube with the instruction flashing and each door having flashing red lights.

For better or worse, people react to lights more than to signage. School buses use high flashing red lights to stop traffic (the "Stop" sign sticking out being more of a reinforcer -- I remember riding school buses growing up that didn't have those).
