I used to be a bus driver. Not exactly the easiest job to do from
home.
If you can fly drones from land you can drive buses from home.

That fills my mind with absolute dread at the mere thought of it, I do
hope you weren't serious, or my recently eaten tea will be all over the

I never thought of that. Sounds fun! ROFL


Getting them to pay their fare would be even more of a challenge, given
the attitude that most of the scrotes we carried had.


They would have to fit the bus with a rail station style entrance which is
activated by a card of some description, although it might slow down boarding
somewhat.
