Very funny but…

“Personal”? It doesn’t mean that the driver is a person you know.

[–] TheAndrewBrown@lemm.ee 33 points 1 year ago

The joke would’ve worked just as well and not been an outright lie if they used “professional driver” or even just “driver”

Whoa. Just because they have butt sores and yell at people doesn't mean it's ok to dehumanize them! They are persons!

Yesterday, I took a bus to a shop in the next city over and got lucky to come out of the shop just a few minutes before the bus went back the other way. The bus driver gave me a look, too, like, didn't I just drop you off right here 45 minutes ago? Certainly had the feeling of a personal bus...

In London we call an empty bus a “poor man’s Limo”. I was lucky enough to enjoy that this morning for a few stops.

St. CUM represent! (Only the OGs will understand)

I remember when you had to step down on to the stairs in the back to get the doors to trigger

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I remember when the first nova buses came around and the doors wouldn't open 😂

I've looked into his eyes. He's pure evil.

Hello Newman 😤

When you control the bus, you control transportation!

I'm lucky to live in one of the cities with the best public transit in the Americas (Santiago).

Oh yeah! Je ne pensais pas voir un bus de la STM sur lemmy aujourd'hui moi!

I knew one guy who had a plane roll up for him!
