# both buses I never catch.
I had an interesting journey with a woman with no short term memory who repeatedly told me about her adventure to Crystal Peaks.

# I can vouch for the no. 40.
It got me successfully to the Hallamshire for interviews before I realised it's easy enough to walk it.

# there was an incident on the
Freebee I was on at the interchange.
I guess not having to pay is just going to encourage weirdos.

# Yes even on the 'paid to ride' buses weirdos get on
we are called busdrivers.

You lot go ape-shit!

# Depends what it's for
a £10 note for a 40p child fare would definitely be a "You're taking the piss" moment. But mostly we are swamped by £1 coins with kids and adults not having the correct change. Your best bet to appeasing the Busdriver Gods is to sheepishly enter the bus and with a big lovely smile on your face (as long as it's an honest one) simply say "I've only got a tenner, I'm so sorry." and generally most Drivers will be a nice as pie to you. It's the ones that slap the tenner down and say "£1.20, Mate!" who get the backlash.

# I am always very apologetic and understanding
I will go an buy something to get the change.
and normally it's £3.60 I'm paying.

I did however move to the city centre to avoid having to give First anymore of my money than I absolutely have to. (sorry)

# No problem
I totally agree - First cut their own thoat by being too greedy with the fare rises (I hope my bosses aren't reading this as it could be sack time)

But they have the £1 after 7pm Sunday to Thursday deal but there is no real reason why this shouldn't be for every day of the week. We also have the Red Route (52) Day and Week Savers (£3 and £9 respectively) and the same with the Orange Route (40, 41, 42, 94, 95) and the Purple Route (11, 12, 81, 82) but nowhere else gets these fantastic deals and it's only because those routes are heavily contended by Stagecoach - First have failed to seize the intiative time and time again.

# Indeed!
I would never think to get a bus to anywhere around the city centre. Not that that's a slight on the wonderful busdrivers (;)), but I don't see the point. I used to walk from Kelham Island to the Hallamshire every day when I was at Uni.
