I am sure most people do, except when you get one of those drivers who is obvious they think they are doing you a favour and usually not even stop when and where they should

Don’t use public transport often, but when I do it’s impossible to get off without at least saying “Cheers!”

Anything else would feel strange

Errrr not really. Except for yesterday! He waited for me at the bus stop, as I was at the wrong stop and the new stop was like 200yd away. Also he asked me which stop I wanted to get off at ! (The bus was pretty empty anyway)

Shit like this doesn’t happen in London so he was extremely kind and thanked him.

Also, not really because there’s a entrance and exit on London buses!

Me too, especially the grumpy ones as they don't expect it and makes them even grumpier. I do that with everyone in shops too when I pay for something and they don't bother to say thank you

West Wales and Cardiff


"People always say "thanks drive" in Cardiff, though the service has only-recently become particularly professional really, and the drivers (esp out of town ones) can occasionally be quite rude!"

Or very often “cheers, drive”

It’s a Bristol thing too, I believe. Maybe in other places.

Almost everyone says “drive” in Cardiff - feels weird not too.

I always thank the driver - if they are friendly and polite they deserve it; if they are not, perhaps it might convince them to be nicer .

What I find interesting in those cities is that very many young folks thank the driver, including ones who seem to have a bit of attitude

Never had a wank on a bus. Sometimes if it's a bit bumpy it feels quite nice but I've always managed to wait til I get home.
