Buses are great. It's the drivers that are the problem – as Emadex's story of a dead passenger that got dumped at a bus stop makes clear: http://b3ta.com/questions/buses/
* TICKETS – “Shouting from the front of the bus, disturbs my iPod listening. A mid-20s girl sat next to a young black man was shouting typical (for this part of Europe at least) fairly racist remarks: enquiring whether he could in fact fornicate with himself and requesting that he does indeed 'go back to the jungle.' This poor man was sitting there, not making a sound, looking straight ahead and not reacting. Meanwhile the inspector gets on and starts asking for tickets. People hold them out, ready to show that all is paid and proper, whereupon the young black gentleman snatches the shouty lady's ticket from her hand, eats it, and then carries on staring straight ahead. She went mental. What's more, explaining to the inspector that her ticket had been eaten just got her thrown of the bus for being a nutter…”

* WHEELS – They go round and round apparently: “A couple of rows in front of me on a packed bus was a mum balancing her shopping on her lap. Her little kid was standing next to her and singing loudly. The only song she knew was The Wheels on the Bus. Worse, she only knew one verse. Which she repeated again and again and again. By the 23rd time this was more than slightly irritating. So mum turned to her daughter and asked her to sing something else. Daughter stopped, thought for a second, and then comes out with, “Bodyform. Bodyform for YOUUUUUUUUU!” The whole bus laughed and the mum went red in the face.”

* TOP DECK – “I like sitting in the front seats on the top deck, holding the rail under the window, pretending I'm hand-gliding very slowly around London.”
