A BUS driver has been wrongly thanked at the end of a bus journey, it has emerged.
Tom Logan of Warrington confessed to being in a cheerful mood at the end of his journey when, before leaving the bus, he turned to the driver and offered his thanks.
He said: “I don’t know what came over me. I’ve thanked a vending machine for a packet of spicy Nik Naks before, but they’re just inanimate. They’re not engines of malice and resentment like bus drivers are.
“He wasn’t helping me personally by driving his route. He didn’t want thanks. I don’t think he’d ever received them before.
“I’m worried he’ll break down irreparably and they’ll make me pay for a replacement.”
A spokesman for bus operators Network Warrington said: “An incident took place earlier today where a bus driver was thanked.
“In this case luckily it was assumed to be sarcastic and no harm was done, but passengers should be aware of the severe danger risked by good manners.”
