The drivers of Brighton and Hove buses have had a pretty rough ride recently.

But, vandalism aside, all regular bus users can contribute to a more congenial atmosphere by adhering to a few simple ground rules contained in the Bus Drivers' Carol:

Let nothing you delay.

'Twill speed us on our way.

Then we'll all ride in comfort and joy, comfort and joy,

And we'll all ride in comfort and joy.

by rising to your feet;

Then we'll all ride in comfort and joy... (repeat)

departure at the lights -

So let's all ride in comfort and joy... (repeat al fine)

-Paul Weston, Brentwood Crescent, Brighton
