LIFE IN THE BUS LANE

This book is written from the driver's seat and is meant for anyone who's ever been on a bus—whether you drive one or just climb on half-awake with a coffee and a card that may or may not have sufficient funds, letting the bus-and everyone nearby-know about it. It's an honest, often funny look at early mornings, long routes, odd questions, difficult passengers, and the quiet responsibility of carrying people safely through their days. For drivers, it's a knowing nod: the tired smiles, the patience, the pride, the moments that make you wonder why you do this—and then remind you why you stay. For passengers, it's a gentle invitation to notice the human being at the front, juggling traffic, weather, timetables, and humanity in high definition. Along the way, this book reflects on ordinary work, shared space, and the small kindnesses that keep a city moving. You may laugh, you may recognise yourself, and you might just find yourself saying “Thanks, Driver” with a bit more meaning next time you step on board.
