Way to go lexxi!!!!
Do you know that bus drivers (on the whole) are pretty cool people?! I'm not a regular public transport user, but when I do, I usually say hi to the driver and tell them where I want to get off, sometimes I chat with them, but when it get's to your stop, they'll tell you!!!! It's weird how people are scared of other people on the bus!
My husband used to be a bus driver (when we were dating) so our dates consisted of, I'll meet you at bus stop 12 at 8.16pm! I'd hop on the bus, give him a kiss and sit behind him... he had the same route for a couple of weeks, and I'd always get on and give him a kiss, the other passengers noticed that I never paid my fare, and started making jokes to him and asking if they could pay their fare in kisses! He'd say no, and then I'd get on, give him a kiss and sit down :lolcry: Then when the passengers who'd been making the jokes got off, they would usually say something silly to me, and I got to know about half the people on that bus!
My grandma used to take me on the bus when I was growing up, and she knew everyone on her bus route, and they all knew me, she used to find out so much stuff I thought went unnoticed!
