What do you say when you get on bus?
What do you say when you get on bus? Bus drivers tend to appreciate the passengers who get on the bus with their pass or correct money ready or at least know where they want to be so that you can tell them the correct fare. A quick hello or morning / afternoon will be fine when boarding and any version of thank you when getting off.
Should you say hello to bus driver?
Passengers who greet bus drivers as they embark or disembark have a small positive impact on drivers' wellbeing, a survey has suggested. A pilot in Hammersmith saw stickers put on some buses to encourage people to say hello or thank you to the driver.
What happens if a bus is full?
If you are waiting at a bus stop and the bus drives past, it is likely it has reached its reduced seating capacity. If the bus does stop, but is near capacity, the driver will only allow one person to board for every person that gets off, so you may need to allow extra time for your journey and be prepared to wait.
