Woman: Do I pay here?
Driver: Sorry?
Woman: Do I pay on the bus? Or when I get off?
Driver: No, you pay now.
Woman: I thought you might stamp my ticket during the journey or something.
Driver: Well, no, I'll be driving. Where to?
Woman: I'd like to go to Tescos please.
Driver: £1.30
Woman: And can I pay to come back as well?
Driver: You want a return?
Woman: I want to go to Tescos, and then when I've finished shopping, I want to come back here.
Driver: Yeah, a return. (Reads lists) One return to Tescos... £2.20.
Woman: Oh no! Not a return to Tescos! I don't live at Tescos, I live here. I want to come back here after I've finished shopping!
Driver: Yes, that means a RETURN to Tescos. £2.20 please.
Woman: I only have a twenty pound note.
[The driver manages to give her change from a twenty. At this point a man and two children follow her to where she is sitting. The driver calls back to them]
Driver: Excuse me, have you got a ticket?
Man: We're with her.
Driver: Have you paid?
Woman: (Calling back to driver) No, I've just paid you. £2.20 you said.
Driver: That's just for you! You didn't say you want four returns!
Woman: I don't, I only want to go once.
Driver: Yes, but there's FOUR of you! Each of you must pay separately!
[After much fiddling about, all four family member are seated. The driver drives off.]
Woman: Do I have to tap on the window or come and get you when we get to Tescos?

And so on, and so on and so on...
There's two Tescos' in York. Knowing her luck it'll be the wrong one she ends up at!
