This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

bus

ticket inspector

Are they talking about the driver or does their bus have someone punching tickets like a train?

Not sure what country OP is in, but here in Copenhagen, Denmark they have ticket inspectors boarding busses at seemingly random stops, validating everyone's tickets, and then leave the bus again. Because you can enter the bus through any door now, so you can easily avoid purchasing a ticket.

USA, so my familiarity with functional public transport is shakey at best.

In New York City you get inspectors boarding busses doing similar, at least when Select Bus Service routes were being rolled out
