I can't speak for other countries, but I figure in the US we just kinda figure they're doing their job. Not that there's anything wrong at all with thanking them. I just imagine that's probably why tho. Also for all I know there are people that do, it's just in the few times I've ridden the bus I haven't seen it, nor have I done it.

Pretty common in UK

@@themeliodas6227 You know what, I thought that we didn't do that here in England but I realised that we do, maybe not outwardly saying Thank You but at least nodding and putting a hand up to the driver as acknowledgement.

If they’re far away then no, feels awkward not knowing if they will hear you. (Everyone’s different tho) just like someone said, at least a wave.

Everywhere I've been in the US the majority of people thanked the bus driver; they wouldn't shout it up if leaving in the back half of the bus but if leaving through the front they would say it directly to the driver next to them.. which is why people might think we don't do it, we're just not as loud and boastful about doing it.

It’s the same in the UK, I think it’s rude when people don’t thank the driver!

I've never seen this ever before.. 😯Well in Switzerland we don't do that but it would be so beautiful!

US here too and not uncommon unless it's too packed and loud on the bus to do it.

@@minidini4000 bro, what you mean we don't do that? I hear it all the time

I like in the US (Midwest) we always say bye

I thought "Chad" was a bad thing...

No ! It's actually a reference to a popular meme, the chad meme ! You should look it up ! /Gen

Not all heros wear capes

I’m liking your edit. 👋🏼👍🏼

I would have played the sex pistols. Guess which song 😁

Man, that sounds like fun! Oh, 90s. The nostalgia some of us enjoy because of you is never-ending.

I wish we'd been able to do that with my mom, but she had broken her back so we couldn't move her. I wanted to. 🙁

So much so that Dublin Bus use in their ads for hiring drivers "Get thanked for a living"

It's a classic case of American syndrome. They just think everyone's is like them and lacks manners.

Gold comment.

@@2017_K___Booth Don't lose that. It makes a big positive impact in such small-minded negative times. Thank you for your light.

​@@2017_K___Booth I moved from Florida to rural Tennessee and, living on a dirt road, I learned to wave at every vehicle I met. I still do it on rural roads. I was standing in someone's yard with a bunch of people and the owner waved at a passing car, realized it was his "frenemy," and muttered, "I throwed up my hand before I saw who it was" in disgust. That's how automatic it is. There are even degrees of cool to waving while driving. There is the mom version with all fingers and movement. With hand on wheel there are several types; there's the mom wave, and there is the casual, 4 fingers. There is the cool, one finger, pointing either up or at the other driver. Then there is the max cool "bro" wave where you don't even use your hand. You just lift your chin and point it. (That could mean you're hiding a smoke or a beer in your lap and don't have any hands free. Or it could just mean you're a bro.) I am usually the casual.

Nope lol

As someone who works with bus drivers, a good amount of people say thank you, hello or goodbye. But there are the rare ones that don't say anything

As a Brit, we thank bus drivers. I lived in Australia, and bus drivers are thanked there too. I just thought it was normal, and part of human decency.

Stop it! Don't be...just no...go to time out.😂

It's a common joke sign in Hawaii. I love it, too. That's how I wish I could live my life!!!

I can confirm this, also taxi drivers especially when you get home at 4 am from Cardiff and know your bed is within arms length it’s the best feeling and can be upgraded to “ cheers boss “

You may think*

It's the same in all other countries that celebrate the Chinese new year 😂😂

very cool

@@crypticTV Make sense 😂😂😂😂😂

@@2017_K___Booth what about that makes me sound Scorpio?? I’m just curious, because I am a Scorpio!😅
