Gesture & etiquette
Show your destination on a map or written down. Point in the general direction of travel if helpful.
When asking the driver, wait until the bus is stopped or at a suitable moment (e.g., when stopped at a light), and speak clearly. Have your destination written down or displayed on your phone if pronunciation is difficult. Some drivers might not speak English.
