Default Are you a bus snob?

http://www.confused.com/news-views/b...you-a-bus-snob

I have to admit, I am a bus snob. I would rather walk for two and a half hours than get a bus, but that's just my opinion. The article linked above it quite interesting!

Yeah, totally agree. I think I pissed my auntie off the other day when I told her buses are 'for the great unwashed'.. she then turned round and told me that she uses the bus regularly.

I like getting a bus, I can read and relax.

However there can be dodgy people on them from time to time.

Meh if it was the option of walking 2 hours or a bus, I'd get the bus. I haven't got time to walk places

Yes I can see why the act of getting on a bus, paying the fare, and then getting off at your chosen stop, can be a very confusing concept

the only annoying/awkward thing is not knowing the particular place you want to get off at

I don't mind buses at all, in fact when I use them it is amazing sometimes the people you get to talk to as well.
I'd prefer, simply for convenience, not to have to use them but if I need to, I quite enjoy it.

Buses have numbers. How do people know what number bus to get on? Apparently you need the exact money.. What happens if you don't have the exact money? Do you get thrown off? It seems to be bus etiquette to stand up and make your way to the front of the bus before your stop.. What if you fall? What if you don't know where you've to get off?
It's all just too much for me

You go to the bus stop and look at the bus schedule, it will display which bus goes where. They let you off by 20 odd pence but yeah, you need the right amount of money otherwise you won't be going anywhere lol. And when you press stop, you just wait till the bus stops at your correct stop, get up and walk to the door. And if you don't know where your stop is then you shouldn't really be on a bus

Oh Jesus Christ lol.... the bus schedule normally has a straight line map showing which places it is stopping at... if the place you need is there, bingo, if not, cross the road and try the other side
