Dear Mister Bus Driver,

I hopped onto the bus and within five minutes you were addressing the entire bus, informing us that we should keep our feet on the floor of the bus at all times, that we should keep our feet inside the bus and off of other seats because this was not our living room or bedroom, this was public transit.

I thought you were great for doing that, since it's gross when people have their bare feet against the poles that people touch with their hands.

Of course, the best part about you being the bus driver was that when you announced stops, you also announced which buses that people could transfer to, where the buses went and what numbers those buses where.

Seriously, you were the best driver I've had in a while.

Plus, telling people to keep their feet down or get off your bus? Very nicely done. Considering it's a disgusting habit that people have. I get having your shoes off when you're in your own car, because it is your own car. But in public transportation? Where there's chewed gum on the floor and occasionally on the seats and such? Gross.
