Some are really witty too. Last week I was about 60 yards from the bus stop at Morrisons on Newport Road when a 45 pulled in. I ran as fast as I could and stopped 10 yards from the bus stop when I could see that the driver was not going to pull out. His first words to me when I got on the bus was "Damn, I was hoping you were going to run all the way" Priceless !
What about the old open back buses with the pole & platform eh? Like extreme sports in those days, both running for a moving bus, grabbing the pole and hauling yourself on or jumping off between stops.
Also the fare dodging on the trollies with two sets of stairs, trying to elude the conductor between upstairs & downstairs. Buses & trollies were fun in those days……. Until an inspector got on for a ticket check
