    Sorry to be a buzzkill but I kinda think this might be fake. I mean, where in 2023 does the bus only cost a dollar? lmao last buss ride I took cost me $8 and that was 5 years ago

    Unless this took place in 1993 or something.

            I googled it and it looks like to sign up to drive for Bus you need to take a hollowed out RV and fill it with chairs from the DMV. How do they have enough drivers to compete with restrictions like that?

      Costs a dollar here in libland. I think it's subsidized, there is a push to make it free tho

      There's lots of places where it's just a dollar as far as I know. I used to take the bus for a dollar just last year somewhere in California

      It might seem unthinkable but maybe the drunk on the bus offering beers and money to people, while good hearted, might not have a 100% grasp on the situation

      Huh $8?? I went on a bus that was $4 and I thought THAT was expensive. Usually found $1-2.50

      Never says this happened in 2023 as the question was just an open "weirdest thing ever"
