Stagecoach, one of the largest bus operator in the UK, wanted to encourage people to ride the bus. But first, they have to educate the people on exactly how to get on a bus - by publishing a step-by-step manual!
According to Stagecoach, which has created the step-by-step manual, a large proportion of Britain’s population are now so used to travelling by car that they have become scared of buses.
In order to encourage use of public transport, the firm has come up with the “Using the Bus” guide which sets out the most basic information possible.
The guide begins reassuringly with: “Using the bus could not be easier.”
It goes on to warn that passengers should “first of all decide on what bus you need” and once the right bus has been spotted, with the “number and destination on the front”, one should then “signal for the driver to stop.”
The guide continues: “Wait until the bus is stopped and the doors are fully opened and step on board.”
In case you're wondering, there's a section on how to get off the bus, too! Link
Yeah. I'll take them now when I'm feeling adventurous, but buses ARE kinda scary!
Exactly what I was thinking!
They'd get more people to take the bus, if their drivers weren't so goddamn rude.
I don't know where you live but there is a problem with Goths bringing their pets on buses? Around here the Goths I see are usually sans-pet.
Thanks for posting the link -- I hadn't heard the story.

Now there's a shocker. She's on the dole. Your tax dollars... er, pounds sterling, hard at work. Living in the welfare state is sweet, huh?
"the wheels of the bus go round and round..."
About the dog girl : yeaaaah! welfare state at work!
