What do you say to the bus driver when you get on the bus?

This is why I love having a bus pass, I don't have to talk to the snobby, insane bus drivers we have. It's also nice not having to try and convince them you're a child :awesome:

Oyster card eliminates the need for any human contact on public transport :biggrin:

If I ever pay money, I just give the driver £2 and wait for the ticket to pop out

I don't say a word.

Swip the card, walk on, try to find a seat, if not stand up and think about what I was thinking about before I got on.

Yup, I always use Oyster and don't often forget it :/

If I do have to use money (rare) I don't say much, just "pardon" if the driver says something cause I usually can't hear them clearly without paying attention >_>

If you know how much the bus fare is (e.g. 75p) you can say "75 please".

If you don't know how much the bus fare is, say e.g. "single to Gosforth please" (or "child single" if you are under 16.

Don't forget your P's & Q's! :biggrin:

Getting on: "Single/Return to (destination) cheers"
Getting off: "Cheers Drive. "

Morning ?

Start with hello then my destination then how are you. Now my car is all fixed i don't use the bus. Sometimes if it were one of the old busses, the best ones, with side facing seats as you first walk in on the right you can sit and chat to the driver as there is no partition between them and you.
