Thanking the bus drivers when exiting the bus.
Depends on the bus type though. A lot of buses have a rear door, and sometimes it’s kinda rude to go out through the front when there’s a lot of people coming in through the front. So then you end up leaving through the rear and it would be awkward to shout ‘Thank you!’ to the driver, over everyone’s head.
In Dublin, everyone would enter and leave via the front door. Only Covid changed that, and drivers started opening the second doors in the middle of the bus. Still, people are used to exit through the front, or shout their thank-yous from the other door.
It was like this in the Bay Area when I lived there, like in Alameda county at least. People exited at the rear doors and gave a thank you to the driver. Became a habit for me. I moved to Norway a few years ago and absent-mindedly said “Takk!” as I exited and I was quickly educated that, we don’t do that here.
i always have, even as a grade school kid–back then the bus rides to and from school were so long, i saw the bus driver more on school days than my family.
Happens where I live in Denmark
Damn i just heard one person doing that today first time in my life…
That’s a lot of thanks. It’s in a highly populated city.
Bzzt, unless you’re Australian this isn’t true. It’s not universal here, but I’d say around 50% do, moreso if you’re somewhere regional.
