thanks

Yeah of course we do (in Southern California at least, the US is way too big to make assumptions all over)

 

We say thanks for pretty much anything a million times

Doesn't necessarily mean it's sincere just that we say it a lot

We don't in Italy :embarrassed:

 

Well it depends, if the bus you're using is the one that you use to go to another city yes we do, but if it's the bus you use to go somewhere in the same city we don't because it's so confusing that if you don't want to get any trouble you have to leave the bus as soon as possible, so you don't have time to say "thanks"

I think it's just a part of the culture here. And anyway, you are supposed to exit the bus through the back doors so you don't really get to say thanks unless you raise your voice and people will probably be startled and stare at you like some kind of alien if you ever did that. People keep to themselves here so unless you know the driver personally then it comes off as a bit weird if you thank them. I live in a small town though I can't speak for the whole country haha.

It's the same in Denmark as in Norway. So no.

 

If it is very crowdy in the bus and you sit in front close to the driver, then occasionally I have experienced that the driver let people in front exit the bus via the front door (but that is very rare), and then I always say "thank you", but it is not a given thing that all the passengers that are allowed to exit via the front door say "thank you", even though I think that a "thank you" would be in place.

 

Funny enough, if you are transported by bus in Denmark's second-largest city, Aarhus, then you enter the bus via a door in the middle of the bus and exit via the front door close to the driver. But even then, many passengers exit without saying "thank you".
