Do you say thank you to the bus driver?

[buttons]

ya i always say thank u... i find it rude not to n even thought less of sum1 who didnt lol . i say it even if they're grumpy cause they've done me a favour despite it and it might make their day/less grumpy lol

[geo]

yes, always. my friends laughed at me because we got on our school bus, there wasn't enough seats for us and i said thank you whilst walking off of it, even though there wasn't a seat for me. ;| i feel so rude if i don't

[JACKTARD]

Most of the time I'll say thanks unless they've been rude or are just moody.

[Shar]

Where I live I do but in London its pretty hard but I still try to.

[lucaskf390]

I don't go to school by bus, on foot, but in any situation i say thanks

[Andeeh]

I always say thanks, unless he's a ****.

^ this is what i'm like

[!x!dude!x!2]

i always to , it feels good to make them smile

[Elegance]

i always say thank you no matter what stop i get off at, i feel really rude after i get off if i don't say thanks

[Ekelektra]

Always, but if I get off at the back doors and it's kinda crowded I wave. I haven't had a rude bus driver in ages but I guess if they were rude I would still say it anyway.

bit racist, the majority of london bus drivers are lovely and will let you on if you dont have enough money on your oyster or if they see people running to stop i usually see them wait for the person

Not where I am! Well, I find it depends what bus company and what route specifically, but idk I wouldn't say the majority. At the bus station near me that I travel through, I think there's at least one person who runs for each bus and most of the time the bus will drive off. Recently I saw a bus drive off without warning to someone who wanted to get on the back in a wheelchair, but the ramp wasn't opening and he just drove off after it didn't open .

you must be going to a different part of london clearly then to me LMAO cause like none of them will let you on without a bus driver they are all rude and grumpy and argue with everyone and they certainly dont wait for people who are running they just purposefully wait for you to get close then close doors and drive off literally where i am

LMAO. Same with some of the bus drivers I see.

bus drivers have to keep to tight schedules


and yes it annoys me when they don't let me on without an oyster card but yday a nice man did

Where I am, only a few of the 10+ routes are timetabled routes, the rest are just more frequency based I guess, and I'm sure they could afford to wait an extra 10 seconds to let someone on who's running .

Always... Except the one time the bus driver decided to swear out of his window at someone...

Similar to last year when I was on a bus going home, and a car tried to overtake while going round a corner so the driver got out the bus and started shouting at him :L.

Oh and I do say thank you if a driver lets me on after running and he waited, or if the bus is pretty much full but I still get on .
