We've got a local bus driver who likes to pull away slowly just to see how far old ladies with shopping trollies will chase him down the road. By popular demand - tell us your thrilling bus anecdotes.

Daring Explorer Bus
I was spending New Year's Eve with some friends out of town in an area where I was later to discover lacked street lights - a bit of a country area.
We all caught the bus into the local town square and made merry with others and watched the fireworks, then after that early-to-bed Dog was the only one who wanted to go back to the friend's place and go to bed. So Dog did.
Dog caught the bus back and had to then confess to the driver she didn't have a clue where she was meant to get off. The bus driver was used to a different route and so couldn't help. It being NYE, everyone on the bus joined the discussion and two were found who knew where Dog needed to go. Happy and helpful bus driver took the directions and started on his way.
Dog and all the bus passengers quickly came to love this bus driver. He didn't bother with the route much at all, he drove around the area and took everyone to their actual homes dropping them off at their door. Marvellous! Dog was the last passenger and the people who got off just prior reiterated the directions to the driver and so lucky Dog was let off in a pitch black country area with a cheery Happy New Year and the driver waited to make sure Dog found her way into the right house.
Hmm, not a very exciting story but as bus drivers are usually miserable examples of human excreta (probably with good reason), finding a lovely bus driver like this one made my night really.
