Canadians aren't saints (because people are usually assholes no matter where they live, it's a fact), but I do feel like there is a higher level of ingrained politeness up here. Do people in other countries shout out 'thank you' to the bus driver when they're getting off the bus? I feel like it must just be such a stereotypical Canadian thing.

Haha no I hope it didn't sound like I was claiming we were. Canadians are certainly assholes about some things, as a rule. Compared to some parts of the USA we completely suck at driving too.

I've never heard anyone else do it anywhere, but I'll shout thank you to the bus driver if he or she said hello to me when I got on.

No, didn't think you were, I was just clarifying that I didn't think that.
I hear it all the time on the bus over here. It just seems super polite, although I do it sometimes too.

Here where I live that happens (south of Brazil). There are some special lines where you get on and off through the front door and they don't have a guy to collect money, so you interact with the driver. It's pretty usual to thank and/or wish the driver a good day when leaving. Also very usual in buses that go from city to city.

I had no idea there were special bus lines in Brazil. The only thing I know from my classmate (who is from there) is that there's a joke that the reason the buses in brazil don't need seatbelts is because you can't move when you get in them anyway hahaha. Do they really pack you into them or is she just having me on?

Yeah, these special lines are usually smaller buses or even vans, but sometimes they're regular-sized buses with more comfort.

Oh yeah, really, really crowded buses are certainly a thing in medium and big cities. Lots of people standing in the passage, nearly on top of each other. Of course it depends on the time of day, line and city. Here I get a lot less of that than in my home city, which is a lot smaller.

Oh my god, I forgot about the thanking bus drivers thing. I was out of Canada way too long.

I say thank you to the bus driver, but I'm also in Western NY, so practically Canada anyway. :P

Thanking bus drivers isn't normal elsewhere?

We do not have bus drivers where I live.

I see a lot of people greeting bus drivers as they get on the bus, and a fair amount of the time someone will lower the wheel chair ramp so the bus driver doesn't have to get up.

Not a lot of "thank you" at the end, because you're not usually allowed to get off at the front of the bus unless it's the final stop or an especially large station where the bus stops twice (once for getting off, once for getting on). Yelling through the bus would be too awkward for north Germans. :)

I think about 30% of the people here say thank you when they get off. We're sort of close to Canada too, though.
