License To Ride The Bus?

A big round of applause for Bobby McHale. He must have studied that how to catch a bus film of years gone by as well as those helpful booklets and posters very well. He managed to get a certificate stating that he was qualified to catch a bus! The funniest part was he didnt' even know he was being tested.

This is what the certificate stated.

Bobby McHale (date of birth 22.5.94) a student at Bury Youth Service has completed the following unit of work.

Using Public Transport (Unit 1)

In completing the unit the student has demonstrated the ability to:

1. Walk to the local bus stop.

2. Stand or sit at the bus stop and wait for the arrival of a public bus.

3. Enter the bus in a calm and safe manner.

4. Be directed to a downstairs seat by a member of staff

5. Sit on the bus and observe through the windows.

6. Wait until the bus has stopped, stand on request and exit the bus.

Woo! I would hope that, at the age of 15, he has mastered this art.

And yes, this came from the UK.
