A letter in The Irish Times yesterday. And it makes such great sense. Where is all our technology and ‘advancement’ getting us? It was a treat getting off a bus to say thank you to the driver.
The letter tells it all so perfectly.
On the buses
Sir, – Recently I heard a young girl shouting “Thank you” to the bus driver as she left via the side exit of the bus. The driver was unlikely to have heard her. No doubt useful during a pandemic, it made me think of the unintended consequences of buses with side doors. The custom of thanking the driver is unique and remarked upon by visitors to our capital. Like many other unique customs, this one too will become extinct. What a pity. – Yours, etc,
MARION WALSH,
Donnybrook,
Dublin 4.
