If I had a dollar for each 'thank you' I receive, I'd be rich!  Add on the amount of times in one day 'safe' is added, i'd be rich

How to annoy a Coach Operator:  (First one is number one for a reason)    Sing 'The Wheels On The Bus' constantly. Bang on the windows. Start a conversation with him/her about something irrelevant. Go to sleep and snore really loudly. Pay your bus driver in coins. Scream and shout for no particular reason. Sing along to the radio! 

COVID is no fun. 

Heres some things to know about bus drivers and the reasons for the things we do:   When a driver pulls into a stop and waits there for 'no reason' : we run to a schedule, we are not allowed to run early whatsoever, so the driver will have pulled into a stop to wait his time down to ensure hes not running early. Trust me, we're as ticked off about it as you.    When you've missed the bus and the driver wont open the doors to let you on: once the driver has closed the doors and signalled to leave the stop he is not allowed to then reopen the doors. We can lose our licenses for this, so forgive us for not risking our jobs because you werent at the stop in time.    When you get on the bus and the driver is rude and miserable: please take into consideration the day that driver has had and how many names that driver has been called because people are having a bad day. You try and smile after being called a fat c**t and ugly b*tch multiple times a day.    You've bought the wrong ticket: unfortunately if you've bought the incorrect ticket you will have to buy the correct one to board the bus. If a bus is inspected and you're on the bus with the wrong ticket the drivers are at risk of disciplinaries. We're not being unfair, we're just doing our jobs. Please dont argue with us or try and reason with us, rules are rules.    You're asked to put your tshirt on before boarding: It's nothing personal, it's not because we dont want to look at your hot sweaty body, or we think you're unattractive. It's because of health and safety. You wouldnt go into a restaurant or into a supermarket without your shirt on, so please dont expect to on a bus.    The bus is late: unfortunately these are circumstances that cannot be avoided. If the traffic is bad or bus is extremely busy, please dont complain to the driver that you're running late for wherever you're off to. Dont forget, hes running late too and most likely wont get a break at the end of his trip. Trust me, the drivers are as annoyed and as stressed as you.    So please, next time you're travelling by bus... take these into consideration!   (This is copied from a fellow Bus Driver)

Was very happy to be surprised by great friends.  It's my birthday month,  and I've been enjoying it.
