@JulieRoss62 said on Twitter: "I’m going to yell “THANK YOU DRIVER” REALLY REALLY LOUDLY...which is what a small minority of folk used to do decades ago."

@graeme came up with this suggestion: "Send them an email?"

@pgkepfidra asked: "Do people in other parts of the country thank their bus drivers?"

David Ure said: "Just say thank you louder like we used to do on the 2 door buses. It’s hardly rocket science"

Samantha Tayler offered this opinion, saying: "Should have a button to say thank you and at the end of each shift the driver with the most 'thank-yous' should get a bonus from Lothian bus."

Steven Oliver said: "Say thanks to the driver when you get on, once you've either shown your pass or paid your fare. That's what we did the last time Edinburgh had two-door buses."

Charalampos Koundourakis said: "I just turn and say THANK YOU DRIVER, CHEERS!"

Gordon Crees suggested: "Maybe a wee tip jar next to the driver to say thank you!!"

Killack Miguel, however, had a different view, writing on Facebook: "You don’t. There only doing their job. Easy as. No need to thank as they getting paid to do so."
