Thanks for the shout out Alan! On the subject of thanks, I'm curious about "thanks driver". I've always found the use of "driver" a bit, I dunno, condescending. It's like saying "thanks, supermarket checkout operator", or "superb consultation, medical professional". Perhaps I've heard too many surly Wellington College kids saying it.
I just tend to say "thank you". Admittedly this is more ambiguous, esp when I'm fighting my way down a crowded bus to get to the door and have to thank multiple people for getting out of my way.

Hmm.
Get over yourself Stuart 🤣
You could say "Thanks, Mass-transit facilitator" ??
Yeah fair enough... tell you what, I'll say "thank you driver" to you at least, Alan 😃
Hope you’re on my route Alan. Congrats and thank you in advance!
