London bus driver complains about ‘rude’ commuters who never speak or look at him

A London bus driver has taken to social media to complain about the attitude of people in the capital when using public transport. He has branded many of the travellers "rude" and claims his job is "awful" because so few passengers acknowledge him or say hello.

MyLondon.news reported that the driver took to TikTok, with the username @absolutelynotbritish, to explain that he drives the 159 route. In a video titled: "#londoners are so #rude to #bus #drivers" he spoke about his experience. He described how people "ignore" him and said only one in 20 passengers would say hello..

TikTok users responded with sympathy and shared their theories on why this might be, although some pointed out that they have experience of the opposite - with drivers ignoring passengers who greet them.
